I have a pair of L100Ts. The day I first got them, after about an hour of high volume (+2 dB), the coil and cone separated. Got that fixed. The speaker guy said it wasn't the amplifer, it was a result of bad adhesive (that had glass fibers in it) they used, he could tell by the color. My amp is a nearly new HK AVR630.
Today I was playing with a new turntable I just bought, and playing the L100Ts with my Akai AM-73 amplifier. All of a sudden one of the woofers started vibrating violently, coupled with a loud humming noise. I immediately reduced the volume, and the speaker seems undamaged. I've owned the amp since new, and its never given me any trouble.
I'm starting to wonder if these speakers just can't stand being driven hard. Maybe I need to reconsider my love of vintage audio.:(
Are these speakers simply old and fragile?
