Back in the late 70s I bought a pair of IMF TLS 50s that must have had an amp blow up into them -- all the caps were exploded, and the tweeters were fried, and the damping foam on which the crossovers were mounted was burned and melted. So it can happen.
But whereas IMFs are worth the expense of repair, I have my doubts about those DCMs. They are not from the glory days of Steve Eberbach's (sp?)designs, but are modern versions -- someone like MTX owns DCM now. On the plus side, of course, maybe the drivers are screwed in, rather than glued, so you might actually be able to get at that crossover without a sledgehammer and router and sawzall.
