What happened. Did Dubstep jump on that?

  Went to this website http://www.audiocheck.net/soundtests_headphones.php and tried the Quality test/ Bass Shaker on the HD800's. Apparently in my enthusiasm to test how far I can push I think I over did it to a point where the drivers were rattling. This was on almost on the full volume pot on the amp. Now I am worried I might have caused irreparable harm to my wonderful HD800's. As soon as I heard the loud rattling I pressed the mute switch. How would be another way to find out if my HD800's are working as they should? What can I try any suggestions. I have looked at the drivers closely and they seem to be in fine shape. Even the red coil seems to be in place. 

 
This test should be performed with the headphones over your head. In such a condition, your ears will be the first piece of equipment to disrupt :wink:
 
If you did so, your headphones should be safe.

yeah, i'll be selling WA6-SE and WA2 though.
 
my biggest concern right now is warmth and synergy with the Beyerdynamic T1.

Well, whichever one you go with, isnt it inevitable that youd also go for the other pick later down the road?

 
i don't think i will. maybe a WA5, but i think i'd get a stratus or something else instead.

In that case, given that you actually like to tube roll. Id say the WA5LE sound be fun.
