Hi guys,
 
Decided to invest in some mid-fi Corsair SP2500's
 
So far them I've paired them with my MacBook Pro and my lossless iTunes collection.
 
Ive got a Fiio E07k on its way in the post as well.
 
Anyway today, after being very impressed with the sound of the speakers, I decided to unplug them and try them with my iPhone.
 
As I was plugging them back into my Mac, and unaware that they were at full volume, they made a VERY loud buzzing/humming sound that happens when an audio cable comes into contact with anything metallic.
 
I thought this may have damaged them somewhat so decided to test this out.
 
Sure enough, when I increase the volume using the remote, this is now accompanied by a rattling sound. Im pretty sure this wasn't apparent before, doubt I am imagining it.
 
Also, when listening to soft female vocals at a moderately loud volume,  I noticed a distortion that I am almost certain was not present before.
 
Can someone confirm that this is symptomatic of a blown/damaged mid / tweeter or am I  imagining the whole thing ?
 
Thanks for your help guys

It is possible that its blown it possible your just worried that you damaged it to. try it for a few days and let your hearing be the judge it will most definitely tell your its blown.
