The woofer was overdriven. Ceramic drivers are very stiff, and if the force of the pistionic motion is greater than the woofer can handle it breaks and shatters. This happened to me once and it was not a factor of downstream electronics or distortion, but a failure to keep the volume control at proper level not to damage speakers.
They do sound quite phenomenal, but like anything have a breaking point.
Good luck and happy listening!
