How does a speaker blow out?
@mikedc "Speakers are approximately 15 years old and this has happened before and I have replaced the woofers." It appears that you may not be getting what you want/need out of the current setup? Woofers typically last 30+ years, so they do not...

@p05129  "When I was shopping to spend $60k-$100k on audio equipment, my wife was involved, either by joining me at dealers or going to audio shows around the country. Just like my wife and I always went together looking at new homes, expensive s...
