Default I blew my left tweeter
I was watching Independence Day with the volume very loud. During the scene when they operate on the alien that Will Smith captured, the screeching sound of the alien squealing caused my left tweeter to blow! At least the midrange cone in the Bose speaker is still intact, but now it sounds like it's been castrated and only emits a weak, muffled sound.

Has anyone ever experienced a blown tweeter before?

I am going to take my blown tweeter to Best Buy and see if the Geek Squad can service my unit.

I have never had that experience even though many others on this site have mentioned it. (Crossing Fingers and knocking on Wood) I haven't had anything blow on me yet. Probably just a matter of time though. I crank my system up all the time, but nothing yet. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the BB geeks can service you to a satisfactory conclusion.

I'm not set up for 6.1 surround at this time. There don't seem to be many adaptors for this set-up either. 6.1 is something I have been thinking about though.

Do yourself a favor and trade in those overpriced Bose speakers. Speakers that blow during normal, non-extreme use are not worth the paper they are made of.
