Super unlikely you damaged your speakers.
rumbling is caused by many things including cartridge alignment issues, mismatch between cartridge/turntable/phono stage.
you should post pictures of your system as it would be easier to rule out component placement issues.
Turntable Causes Speaker Cones To Excessively Move Rapidly
I have a Technics 1200G turntable, Luxman 595, and I use MM carts. For some reason, when I play my turntable I see my sub woofer cone (REL sub) and my Focal Sopra N1 cones move violently. There is a subsonic filter on it where helps cut down on it. But I am wondering... does anyone else have this issue?
If I didn’t have the subsonic filter would the violent moving of my cones damage my speakers? I ran it for about 2 hours total of turntable music before I noticed.
Not a issue with my streamer... they stay almost perfectly still. Just with turntable.

If you are determined to make things work with analog you need to have your cartridge alignment checked including VTF. Last thread you posted you were asking if you need stylus force gauge. Have you verified your cartridge is set up correctly? Did you get a stylus force gauge? This one on amazon will do the trick. I use it and like it a lot |
@audphile1 Yes, that is the one I actually bought :) I have it at 1.8 grams right now. I also checked the needle placement with the white stand that came with the turntable and it looks really spot on. |
