Note how much power is needed for something like a kick drum at 50Hz (the bottom horizontal series of numbers denotes frequency) vs. even the 200 to 500Hz range where voices are. That's a rather dramatic example of the uneven power distribution of music.
It takes a ton of energy to reproduce bass notes, but not a great deal as the scale goes upwards. Fact is, most tweeters never see more than a few watts.
It doesn't matter how big your amplifier is when it comes to tweeters. A 1kHz capable amp still only outputs a few watts at tweeter frequencies when playing music.
