Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ?
Will the center hole of the disc hold the disc on top of all three spikes in place until I can get the unit set on top of it? I'm just trying to think of the logistics of the install, where at no point in time does a spike touch the bottom of a ch...

How bad is the damage to my speakers?
I agree will Dill's suggestion also, to check the woofers for any motion impedance. Also, put your ear close to each tweeter when playing. Most times power spikes fry a tweeter before they damage a woofer voice coil.
