>the speaker moves forward with a rather loud pop and stays forwardProbably a blown (shorted) output xsistor, (the output is directly connected to 1 of the rails via the short). A start would be to test the xsistors, of if readily available just replace them. Put a lightbulb in series with one side of the AC mains in to limit the current in case something else is also screwed up. (this will prevent blowing up the new xsistors).............
