Switch the suspected bad speaker over to the right channel and see if the problem follows it. If not, the amp likely requires an adjustment to its bias.

If the problem moves with the speaker, then the speaker is the culprit, and in light of the fact that you noticed a bad smell, it's a good guess.

The speaker may have a problem with one of the drivers or its crossover.

You could use a meter and check and compare the resistance of the speaker against the other speaker.
