We are in a temp living situation right now while we look for a home and I set up a secondary system since my Maggies are in storage. I got everything set up, all digital for now, and was listening to LZ at a low level through a pair of Altec Lansing Model 9 Series one speakers when all of a sudden there was a repeating popping noise so loud it sounded like a gun going off. It scared the shit out of me as I scrambled to kill the power the wife came running out wondering what the hell happened.
After we gathered our cookies up I turned the system back on and I now have woofer that is blown. If you push on it you can hear and feel it binding on the voice coil, damn it.
Nobody is accepting repairs right now as I want to keep the original drivers in them. Kinda tired of the headphones as of late.
Also kind of paranoid where the source of the problem is. Did it happen in the speaker itself or was it generated in the preamp or amp. Speaker protection did not trip. The amp and pre are 40 year old Pioneer Spec 1 and Spec two that as far as I know have never been repaired so there are multiple possibilities.
