I am curious if I did any damage to my monitors (JBL LSR25ps)over the long term. I was playing a bass heavy track and by mistake set the levels to high and pumped out this extreeemly loud distorted bass. It hurt my ears and reminded me why I usually route the outs on my soundcard through my mixer (I like having physical control over my levels) Anywho this happened about three times (stupid, stupid, stupid). I am not noticing any difference at this point but am curious if you can shorten the life span of your monitors by playing extreeemly loud (to the point of serious nasty distortion) low frequencies through them. I know it's not a good idea but what exactly happens to the speakers/drivers etc. when you do this and they don't blow out?
