White noise and tweeters
#2

It seems to me this is a significant risk - if the noise really is white,  then it contains uniform power across any given frequency band,  and with a powerful amp more than enough to fry a tweeter. 

Or am I being thick?   Quite prepared for that answer!

I'm not sure if it is technically 'White Noise' but based on my all-too-frequent experience the real question is probably whether your hearing or your tweeters will get destroyed first.

I think there is a very real risk of tweeter damage, especially if you can't grab the volume control quickly.

If I could wind the clock back, I would avoid AIR at all costs.

Good luck (you will need it ) Sad
