Between my radio equipment and even more spent on high end

Klipsch Chorus tweeters but left the mids & whoofers OK. This
likely spike could have taken out the preamp or the amp, maybe
the OLED TV so I consider myself lucky.
I remember back many years ago I lost the tweeters in my Advent
speakers, leaving the other drivers OK. The problem was RF
oscillation in the output stages of the amplifier. About 200 KHz
at 75 watts fried the tweeters. My failing memory tells me that
the filter inductor also fried open, and I rewound it, amazing
tech support at Advent.
