It's entirely possible that the amp damaged the speakers when it failed and blew the fuse. It's also possible that one of the speakers shorted and caused the amp to go bad. Without delving into what failed in the amp it's hard to say what happened first.

Square waving an amp into total distortion and blowing the fuse (once the finals are gone) due to a speaker problem (or an operator problem... having it way too loud!!!) could have trashed the speakers as well. The thing to do is hook them up one at a time and see if the new amp will deliver sound (undistorted) to them. If not and you have access to a simple ohm meter, read across the speaker leads and see what you get. For home speakers it should be pretty close to 8 ohms. If it reads much lower than that, say 2 ohms or less, they are fried.

Both answers are correct . You can also check your speakers with a 9vdc battery. Just put one of the speaker leads to the battery and the other in your hand and tap it on the remaining batt. terminal . You should hear a pop, telling you your speakers should at least produce sound. If no pop is heard and you see a small little spark chances are your voice coil is shorted and you know what took out your amp.
