Regarding the original question, a point which the post by Itsjustme alluded to but which has otherwise not been mentioned in the discussion is the possibility that failure of a part in the amp could conceivably result in effects such as very loud oscillations, or large DC voltages in the amp's output, or some other such possibility that can destroy the speaker it is connected to if not caught promptly. Especially in a case like this given that the 5 amp mains fuse of the amp in question (Red Dragon M500 monoblocks) will not blow unless the amp is drawing upwards of 600 watts of AC, while the amp is capable of putting hundreds of watts into the speaker without that happening.
And I certainly would not count on the designer (a)having foreseen every conceivable failure mode that might damage a speaker, and (b)having addressed all such possibilities in the design.
Finally, the fact that the amps are fairly new adds to those concerns, as failure of an electronic component typically has the greatest likelihood of occurring when the component is either very new or very old.
On another note, a happy and healthy 2018 to all!
