I have an anthem MCA 325. I also have Polk L800 which has atmos modules in the speaker which has dedicated terminals. I used a small class D amps to power the atmos. I was plugging the terminals and accidentally plugged the atmos amp into the mains with the other amp. (I should have had the power off. I feel terrible about that)
It was a very loud noise. Then the speakers basically sounded super muffled until I turned off the amp in a panic. Eventually turned it back on and things sounded okay again.
I’m pretty certain my speakers are okay. But I’m uncertain about the amp. My SDA stopped speaker and when I switched terminals on the amp it worked again.
Anyways:
1) why would the speakers sound muffled after that noise and then resolve after power cycling the amp?
2) how can I audibly tell if there was damage?
3) can I visually tell what’s damaged?
