Is it possible that the said speaker will short one amplifier yet work perfectly with another amplifier? I'm asking this because my power amp conked out without unexplainable reason. It started with the left channel. When powering the amp there was a thump emanating from the left channel and no sound came out of it when I started playing (only the other channel playing). I exchanged the right and the left speakers and when I turned on the amp there was a louder thump and there was no more power in the amp. The amp is supposed to be stable until one ohm and all these happened while powering the amp with volume level at zero and without anything playing. However, when I used my old intergrated, everything worked fine and the speakers did not show any sign that something was wrong with them nor did they adversely affect the integrated.
