Well, this is an odd one, was listening to a playback in Logic on my iMac, and suddenly heard a very brief high pitched oscillating sound and then nothing. Both tweeters fried, and one even made some sparks on the way out. Quickly went around back and unplugged power to the both speakers, Logic was still responsive, but when I looked at the TotalMix panel, the meters showed that there was still a very loud signal on my two main output channels, which were routed to the speakers that I had shut off. Shut everything down and will go troubleshoot later.
Posting here for two reasons, one to see if anyone has experienced anything like that before, and second for replacement recommendations. I've only been using Mac and Logic since last fall, but been recording on PC since the 90s,, and never had anything remotely like this. I'm suspecting maybe a soft synth plugin, as it happened right as another section of a song was coming up and a couple of synth tracks that had no MIDI prior were just beginning to play, but won't know until I reboot and check it out and make sure I have the latest version installed.
The monitors are the older Adam F7, and I had been considering an upgrade at some point as I'm in a quite a bit larger room and sometimes check my mixes standing back a ways. The tweeters alone are $225 a piece, so I am looking for suggestions on something that may not break the bank, but might be a step up in power. I like using them close up at moderate volume, but sometimes like to turn up and go back about 15 feet or more away.
