David, funny. Ebm, you were the one who said in the other post that "your speakers are trashed" right?
Blown speaker, stupid move?
I’m newly configuring a system. Yesterday, I finally received the last of the pieces, preamp and cables. But without realizing it initially, UPS had damaged the preamp, such that it didn’t work. Now, I had not yet heard either speaker or amp, and I was anxious to try and troubleshoot the whole thing. So I plugged in TV out, thinking that the TV volume might have controlled gain. And the thing blared. I did it twice. About two, three seconds, each time. Although I know it’s tough to say, I’m curious for the responses: What do you think are the chances that such a move blew my tweeter or other speakers?

Thanks Matt, thanks JMc. I am comforted by the likely remote possibility. That was a great discussion at that link as well. Separately someone gave me the link for a great craftsman, should the ultimate (or future) need arise. I found it somewhat humorous that the other post's author also liberally used the word "stupid". Ha! We're not all that different, all of us. I won't get the opportunity to listen to them yet for perhaps another couple of weeks as I need to sort out/replace the preamp situation. And when that times comes, until I can tune my new ear with music, I see some great resources for various pink noise generators, and the like. Thanks again! This group has been an amazing resource. And I think I've gone from kindergarten to graduate in a short number of days/weeks! And btw, travel in both woofer and midrange seems smooth. (Tweeter way to small for me to try it.) |
