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...???

If there's some way you can check to see if your CC amp is putting out significant DC current, this could result in overheating after a longish listening session. It would eventually result in smoke and smell, but still sound OK with a short listen on another speaker. I would take the amp in to repair if there is significant DC current. Good luck.
