Hi hoping someome might be able to help .
Wired up my speakers to the amp on a temporary basis while i was doing
some work in the room where stereo was connected speakers up with just
one set of wires and didn`t notice that the detached set were touching
each other.
Next minute hot smell from amp and now no sound.
Question is have i caused irrepairable damage to amp or can it be
repaired?


**Everything can be repaired. It just depends on how much you are willing
to spend. Unfortunately, most Cambridge amps use a rather unusual type of
output device, which can only be obtained from the Cambridge.

Could it just be a fuse inside unit.


**Not a snowball's chance in Hell. Fuses don't smell when they blow.
You've buggered the output devices and probably some other stuff as well.

Thank in advance


**My pleasure.

Amplifiers really should be protected against speaker shorts.
