Loose speaker wire and high power amps


Ok I have a 14b3 Bryston 600 watt bench tested to 680. Today I found the 12tc Limber bare wire connection very loose on the amp with maybe half tbe strands attached. The amp had been running hotter the last couple of weeks. I also run it hard and loud. I fixed it now. Besides maybe drawing more electricity could I have damaged my amp and what effect on the sound could it have been? The left side did seem a bit weaker in the bass last weekend when I did some speaker placement checks and did the balance controls. Is this what happens or did I just imagine the bass lower?
