Did I smoke my centre channel..??


I was listening to my favourite concert dvd,Stevie Ray Vaughan,and noticed a electrical smell coming from the C.C.
I immediately turned it down,well not immediately I had to put my double rum and coke down first,which is probable why it smoked in the first place.
Tried it again and still same smell.
I am suspecting that I over heated the voice coils or the glue used to wrap the coils.
Took it down to the local "repair shop" and it got a "nothing wrong rating".
Is it possible that even though it was overheated that there is nothing wrong..??

I am suspecting it may sound OK now but its life is very short and it probable would be a good idea to replace entire speaker now.

Please what are your thoughts...???

I agree with Viridian, burning voicecoils have a (dis- Stink) smell. If you turned it down in a timely manner there will be minamal damage. If it was the amp it would not be playing at all now.
From now on YOUNG MAN when drinking and listening to Stevie Ray Vaugh, Turn the input level down on the center channel;)
