Blown speaker, stupid move?


I’m newly configuring a system. Yesterday, I finally received the last of the pieces, preamp and cables. But without realizing it initially, UPS had damaged the preamp, such that it didn’t work. Now, I had not yet heard either speaker or amp, and I was anxious to try and troubleshoot the whole thing. So I plugged in TV out, thinking that the TV volume might have controlled gain. And the thing blared. I did it twice. About two, three seconds, each time. Although I know it’s tough to say, I’m curious for the responses: What do you think are the chances that such a move blew my tweeter or other speakers?

ebm made a similar juvenile comment on my thread as well. Curious, I glanced at his posting history ... looks like a trend.
I had remembered seeing that, and it struck me funny on your post. Then I saw the memorex version appear here. Indeed.

Hey guys...If ebm ever makes a worthwhile post that actually contributes something, let me know OK?  But I won't hold my breath.

Comic relief? Makes me laugh, sometimes.......

Jamnesta, when every crack or comment he makes is at another person's expense it is tiresome, not funny. Don't ever dare to make a crack at HIS expense though. There will be screaming and name calling. It is really about the only time I find him to be funny, when he is acting like a little girl that got her hair pulled. He really is one of those people that it would not bother me a bit if he just went away...permanently. As Paraneer states, his contributions here in thousands of posts is essentially nothing.

Donzi and Arafiq, the best way to deal with him is to understand who and what he is. Ignore his postings as much as possible and don't feed the troll. Keep us posted on whether you damaged your speakers or not. Hopefully they are ok.
