did my wife harm my speakers?


Ok i Just got my Revel F30s and love them.
my wife was using the TV remote and for some reason the remote can also mess with the preamp (Preoceed PRE) Well somehow the volume of the preamp went all the way UP!! my amp is a Conrad Johnson Sonograph SA-250 when she pressed play on the CD player the volume was ALL THE WAY UP!!!! now she had enough sense to stop it. but it was at max volume for about 4 seconds. The speakers sound ok but could some damage have been done? what do people think?

Given all the threads here about WAF, or wife acceptance factor, I don't know if it's such a good idea to start blaming your wife for anything that goes wrong with your stereo.

I found this out the hard way recently when I blamed her for something that was actually caused by an electrical spike. Don't you just love the taste of Rockports in the morning?

Then again, you could be going for the guilt factor. As in, honey, you BROKE it. Now we have to get a NEW one.

Either way, it's a mine field I'd rather not tread. :o)
She is still not talking to me after i yelled at her.

So Can High volume "blow" or damage a speaker?
Is there anything like a fuse in them to protect them?
what would happen to my Revels if they got to much power?
Run a test disc and check your frequency levels - easy way to tell if all drivers are ok.
How old is the Proceed PRE? I had one from 1997 and it always changed my TV volume and PRE volume. Madrigal has an upgraded chip to fix this. I contacted them and they sent the chip to me and I installed it myself. Contact them. This is a known problem with the Proceed PRE.
