Mine was way back in the day when I use to freelance DJ parties. I was dumb enough for attempting to use home audio equipment for doing the job. About halfway into the gig, I blew a tweeter in one of my 80's era 15" woofer Marantz speakers while using a flagship Realistic receiver to drive them. The receiver ended up repeatedly going into shutdown protection mode.
Luckily the wedding reception party wasn't a total disaster. There happened to be a group of guys at the party who played in a band and they went home lickety split, came back with their equipment and set everything up in less than ten minutes., They wound up playing like pros and saved the day! Because home audio hardware has advanced so much in the past few decades, doing something like this today probably wouldn't be so potentially consequential. I still wouldn't risk attempting it again tho.
