B&W Damaged ?

[Gasoil]

Hi,

Last weekend i wanted to put my preamp Spectral on a new shelf, but unfortunately i connected the amp to the Tape Out and not the Main Out
of the preamp . So when i played music, i got the whole power of the amp and it was suddenly so loud, that i was wondering if the Tweeter or the Kevlar cone of my Signature Diamond could have been damaged. The whole power was only for a few seconds before i switched off the system. Now when i am playing music, i have the impression, that the bass is not so powerful as before and that even the tweeter sounds more harsh .
Thanks for sharing your comments.

Ouch! Sorry to hear of your bad luck. You've possibly fried the crossover - which is probably cheaper than frying a driver. First, swap left and right speaker connections on the Amp to see if the fault moves. If it doesn't, and you're comfortable opening it up, I'd have a look and see if there's any evidence of overheating/burning on the crossover. If the fault does move, the fault may lie with the amp.
