Scott has most likely nailed it.Sounds like U have a bad case of a tonearm/cartridge mismatch and/or a bad case of rumble on your TT. Either of these will produce very low frequency oscillations and when U play a warped record and see the woofers pumping like mad, U are dumping @#$%loads of current into your speakers and the B&K 2140 will certainly deliver it without protest!!
Also, playing a warped record at mid to high volumes with the woofers being taxed to their max as is most likely the case, then I am not surprised that U blew another woofer.
After U get your speaker fixed, look into eliminating the rumble/mismatch problem on your TT before cranking your favorite record again :-)
