Any way I could have damaged my speakers?


Yeah, so I was changing out some interconnects on my preamp while it and the amp was on.  I temporarily pulled out the rca cables that connect to the amp from my preamp and heard a screech from the speakers. Playing some music now and sounds fine but I'm obsessive compulsive. Any possibility I damaged anything?

Many speakers can take short term bursts of high level power/distortion. You may have gotten away with it. 

Years ago I sold a friend a beautiful pair of Canary Audio Zama Speakers. I set up his rig. Years later he rearranged the basement where he was using them. He wired it wrong and when he put power to it he blew out the speakers. Tough lesson. 

My advice is when you don't know what you are doing ask someone else before screwing around with it. Cheer up, it could have been a motorcycle accident. There are some hobbies where screwing up costs more dearly.  :)
