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.

no wonder about speakers even totems after your amp picked up some ligtning energy and brought it right onto the speakers.
no wonder as well that amp could be OK after all...
