Paranoid concerns

Last night I started a new record playing the stylus without lowering the volume.
It was at middle volume and I’m afraid that something no good could be happened to my qacoustics 3050
Is there a way to find out any damage?
Someone of you is experienced about that?

Thanks

You would be able to hear it.
 
No worries. I have my volume up to about the middle whenever I put an album on. The reason for this is that some albums seem to start immediately, while others may have several seconds of lead in. As long as you don't hear any difference you should be fine.
 
Lower the volume when queing a record. Turn the power off when changing interconnects and speaker cables. And if using separates, amp on last and amp off first. All standard safety precautions.

Now, if all the drivers in your speakers look and sound fine, at varying levels, you should be OK. But, take caution, and your gear should last a good long while.
 
I've done that, (as you described a few times). I either turn the volume down, or turn the speakers off, and sometimes both. Also, when I turn the power off, I always switch off the speakers.
