Blew the crossover(s)...or fried the voice coil in one or more of the
speakers? Hope for the former, since crossovers are made up of standard
electronic parts...and voice coils, though in theory rewindable, aren't
really (meaning new speaker[s]...)
However, guitar amps (except for cheap low-power ones like I prefer
for harmonica) are usually rated on average rather than instantaneous
peak power...so there may have been peaks WELL over 25 watts!
