    Yes as Geoff said a resistor will go before an inductor. Looks like the blown resistor damaged the inductor

    Very odd that both speakers have had the same issue. I wonder if somebody has been putting huge amounts of power through them?
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Maybe someone thought they were active speakers and powered them from the mains

    I have actually seen the results when some dimwit tried that. A pair of new Harbeths with melted coils!

    Surely you'd realise that speaker inputs aren't designed to be plugged into a mains cable??

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    more likely that they have just been run continuously for a long period of time, otherwise the drivers would be toast.

    I've seen that on old speakers a few times, burning marks on the wadding and the crossover board. The heat has to go somewhere.
