If the problem follows the speaker and not the channel, your speaker is bad. The amp appears OK from what you've said. Continuing to use the speaker on that amp could damage the amp. Those PV700/1500's are pretty robust, so it should have been fine with what has been done so far. They usually don't fry until they've been over-driven for a few hours.

The reason your amp is clipping is that the speaker is drawing too much load. They might be hooked up wrong internally. One of them might be blown. Check the diaphragms on the horn, and the high frequency caps.
