B&W 805 distortion question

Hi folks,
Tonight, listening to some music, my right B&W 805 tweeter distorted on some high-notes; never had that happen before. I didn't notice anything out of the left channel.

I was playing a CD from my Arcam Alpha MCD source; it''s a good player; my amplification was my Arcam Alpha 9 integrated and power amps, which I bi-amp with my B&W's. Sounds great. Volume was set well-within normal limits.

I could chalk this up to a bad CD recording; I had no other problems with any other CD's I played tonight.

Any thoughts? Any suggestions on if and how I should troubleshoot this?

Seems the first step might be to post the artist/title of the CD and at what point of which track the problem occurred. If you're lucky, others will have the same CD and can check their copy.

If they notice the same issue, then you can quit worrying about your system. It's no secret that there some recordings either have mistakes in them and/or are poorly recorded.
