can someone tell me what a blown speaker sounds like?
I was hoping someone could tell me when you know that you have blown a speaker? will it sound like crap all the time or just sometimes on certain frequencies? does it get a crackle sound to it? today my GF got this smart idea to see how loud my stereo (yamaha rx-v1500 and psb image 4t towers) goes. she cranked the receiver right up to +16.5 but only for a few seconds. it seems like once and awhile in some songs on certain frequencies there is kind of a schreech crackle type sound but not all the time. would this be a blown speaker? im gona be pissed if it is!!! i just got this 2 days ago and the speakers had under an hour of play on them! what do you think guys, do i need new speakers here (and a new girlfriend)? any help is appreciated. thanks!
