Speaker damage

[admin_exported]

I very stupidly connected my DVD player to my amp while the amp was still switched on and the amp made a loud noise momentarily as the RCA mad contact. I'm a bit paranoid now that I may have damaged the speakers.

The amp is a NAD C320BEE (50 watts RMS I think) and speakers are Wharfedale 9.1, with the volume at about 9.5 o'clock and the antil-clipping control switched on.

Is it very likely that the speakers may be damaged?

Do they sound damaged?

No. If it sounds fine and everything is working OK you have got away with it. If no music source was playing at the time it is unlikely that you could have caused any damage.

I can't test them fully until tomorrow so not to wake up the family but they did sound a little shut in than they do normally. Maybe I'm just getting used to their sound and don't notice the improvements in sound so much since I upgraded.

What difference does it make if I was playing music? The sound didn't sound healthy at all. I've made this same mistake a few times with other speakers in the past and got away with it but not at this high a volume.

Well, I'm still hearing a more distorted sound though it could be my imagination. Has anyone else had any experience of speaker damage via the above mentioned?

Thanks

Do you mean a low loud even overdriven sound when you touch jack to an output ? If so , I really don't think that would do any harm if the sound was short enough.Happens many times I guess.

Yes, that's what it was. The volume was quite high as I was watching a compressed video at the time and had to turn the knob up higher than I normally do to compensate for the low volume on the recording. What do you mean by 'short enough'. If you mean time wise I don't really see what diffrerence that could make :-?

Thanks
