did lightning do this?


i run a pair of totem model 1 signatures(the rest of my system is posted). we just had a pretty intense lightning in the oakland, ca area, and like a dummy i didn't unplug anything. after a near strike, my speakers fizzed, and i imedietely shut everything down. when i turned things back on, all i was getting from my speakers was a tizzy small sound. i figured it was my amp since i've had problems with it shorting in the past. but when i switched it out with an older amp that i used to use, the problem remained. finally, i broght in an old pair of boston acoustics that i had in storage, and they worked fine. so my question is are the totem's fried? i wouldn't figure that a pair of speakers could fry like like this. maybe 1, but both of them. or is there something im possibly missing that needs to be done here. please help because i really like these totem's and i haven't had them that long...

thanks for your help.

Yeah, anything five times hotter than the surface of the sun is quite frightening.
I live in Los Angeles, and the other night the thunder and lightning woke me up at 1:30 in the morning. My first thought was, "Cool!". Ten seconds later I jumped out of bed and unplugged my system from the wall. Maybe a good thing, eh?
