Message: [QUOTE="Fringe Reception, post: 108144, member: 4739"]As a teenager I decimated many speakers and to begin, I totally cooked FOUR of my parent's 3-way midrange and tweeters in four cabinets listening to InnaGaddaDivida.  It was 'cool' that the empty garbage can outside was buzzing and almost dancing.  My Folks got home and they were royally pizzed!  All of the tweeter and midrange voice coils failed but all four 12" woofers survived -- and 45 years later, I still have the bulletproof woofers.A few years after that event I learned Dad's 'modern' transistor amp was a turkey that actually used vacuum tube circuitry (quasi-complimentary) ... which became famous for distortion including square-wave output ... basically pulsing direct current to the voice coils when cranked at high levels.Sorry Dad, but it wasn't not entirely my fault ...
