Amp and speakers blown

My wife turned on our system the other day and after a few minutes everything went quiet. The Unison Research Unico was dark. After I replaced the fuse (which was blown) at the power cord receptacle in the amp, it blew again.

I took it out of the system to get ready for the repair guy and put the basement vintage reciever into my system. I then noticed that the woofer on the right channel speaker was not working (Totem Model 1 original biwire). Note that I was running the speakers biwired from separate terminals on the amp.

Does anyone know whether this driver is easily replaced. Should both L and R be replaced for better matching? Should Totem do it? Is it worth upgrading to the Signatures while they are at Totem if I send them there? Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris

Surely you would want to replace both woofers; as you would want them to match.--((A new one and and an old one are not a match.))--My condolences.

 I'm sorry you're going to have to do better. Give us an idea of how your wife blew up your amp and speakers at the same time. She didn't just turn them on and they were dead. It doesn't work that way. That wouldn't blow a fuse in that wouldn't blow a driver on a speaker.
