Dc voltage sent to my speakers


Recently while listening to my set up my speakers started literally smoke .My crossover and drivers are fried 

I curious what causes DC voltage to go the speakers,?

If a preamp is outputting a little DC, is it always because of faulty output coupling caps?  Should those caps always be expected to block all DC?  I had one tube preamp that would trip the protection circuit of one of my amplifiers due to DC leakage, and I'm wondering if replacing the output caps would have fixed the issue.
