Well I had a horrible event yesterday with my new Tritons. I was messing around with the auto-eq feature on my equalizer when the system accidentally switched back to audio with the volume way too high. There was horrible noise for about 1 second before the amp shut itself down.

I've played a bunch of tracks through it since then and everything sounds fine, but I'm really not familiar with how damage to a tweeter of this design might manifest itself. Did I just luck out? Any advice for doing a more detailed analysis?

For reference, I was running a 40wpc Yamaha at the time: bit.ly/zZIDaQ

Thanks in advance.

Well, you picked the right speaker to have an accident with ... the tweeter is fine (it is virtually indestructible based on our testing and experience to date). I would be more concerned with the midrange drivers, but as long as everything still sounds good your quick response probably saved the day!

Thanks for the quick response. Good to know the tweeter is bullet proof, although I don't plan to test my luck again. Is there anything in particular I should look for in the midrange that might represent damage? Is it more likely to be very obvious or nuanced?

Likely to be obvious - just check to make sure each driver is working (if one or more wasn't I am quite sure it would be sonicly obvious). You can also run low level sweep tones to see if there is any buzzing from the drivers due to a damaged voice coil, but again, if there was you would most likely hear it on vocals. I think you're good.
