I was listening to a pair of Platinum Audio Studio-3 speakers. I had it hooked up directly to a Yamaha RX-A2070 and they were playing fine.
I added a Rotel RMB1066 amp into the mix. Preouts from the Yamaha. Rotel in bridged mode.
Within seconds there's smoke coming from the RHS speaker so I switch off immediately.
See the pics, the speaker is fried.
What could have gone wrong? Any ideas? My non-technical brain says the Rotel is the culprit since everything else was as before.
Specs of the speaker:

Floorstanding; Two and one half-way design;
One 5" polypropylene woofer;
One 5" polypropylene woofer-mid-range;
One 1" aluminum dome tweeter;
Crossover frequencies 200 Hz and 2.5 kHz;
Vented box design;
Two 1 1/4" flared ports on rear;
Bowed perforated steel grille;
Frequency response 35 Hz - 20 kHz
Sensitivity 89 dB/w/m;
Nominal impedance 7 Ohms;
Bi-wirable
