Hey there,
Do you remember which input you used? I'm not 100% sure on the Simaudio I3, but I know the I5 and many of the Simaudio integrated amps used one of the inputs as a "passthrough" input - one that bypassed the preamp gainstage entirely. This was for people who wanted to incorporate an outboard surround processor/preamp or run the outputs of a surround receiver through the system.
If you ran a phone through a bypass throughput, it's very possible that a signal went through at full gain. That could have damaged speakers without showing any immediate damage to the integrated.
Again, I'm not 100% sure but I was a dealer for Simaudio years ago (during the era of the I3 and I5) and am a long time Simaudio owner myself.
Do you still ave your owners manual handy? We could confirm if you do.
Regards,
Shaun
