Blown Speaker?
Ok, so I just brought all my electronic equipment home for the summer and my dad wanted to watch Star Wars Episode 6. He's getting kind of older and has a hard time hearing dialog so he has to turn the sound way up. Now I left him alone with my system and he had it really really loud.
Whenever the spaceships would fly by i'd hear major distortion and it would just sound bad. He said the speakers wouldn't blow and could go way loud then what he had them at but i'm just not sure. I was visibly frustrated because I felt like my speakers were going before my very ears. Lets say he had the volume (which is normally set at 35-36) up to 44ish on a pretty loud movie. Would this cause damage to the speakers? They are practically brand new and I do not want to replace anything just yet.
After hearing all the loud explosions coming through the speakers I just kept getting more nervous and had to turn it down. After the movie was finished I needed to check and see if they were alright. I played The Eagles HD DVD and it sounded excellent. Even at louder levels nothing was popping or hissing or anything like that.
Since i'm assuming that The Eagles sounded great, my speakers aren't blown, but they did sound terrible with the explosions in star wars. Anyway to know if there is any damage to them or what I should do? Am I going to have to replace this speakers because of what happened?
Thanks,
Sam
