I have had a few SS amps , and always hear how tube amps have a better sound , I have never owned a tube amp , so this why I am looking for some advice on what is a good entry level amp( $ 500 or less ) if there is such a thing , I plan on having it drive my older Klipsch SB-3 book shelf speakers

hey guys, thanks for all the input, it turned out to be my EQ, that was inline , guess it may need to be cleaned and some deoxit in it

it is my Onkyo AVR... tried swapping the source too...I now think it is the speakers....can the something in the xover cause this??

ok well something strange, its not the amp, swapped it out for another amp, still does same thing, so I guess its the speakers.....now what can cause this in speakers ( bad caps in the x over ?)

Hi everyone all of a sudden my kenwood basic m2 started having some static/ crackling noises , and if I turn the (L ) and ( R ) vol all the way down the static/ crackling sound goes away, the amp still plays fine, the sound will come and go( the static sound ) , anyone have any ideas what...

I made a set ( canare star quad s411) it had 1 red , 1white, 1 pink( reddish) , 1 clear( whiteish) , so was easy to identify at either end!

my M 504 with LED upgrade

I was just doing the same to my 12'" vegas tonight, if the foam is really dry on the paper part, I just rubbed it off using my finger...if that don't do it , I used a Qtip dipped in rubbing alcohol ( its a lil more messy)

they are grey on the back, and red/orange on the front...whats wrong with this kind??

I have a few onkyo M 504s and had all (3) of them @ 4 ohm for a while...one was driving a set of CV VS150s @ 4 ohms...never over heated or really got hot...the meters are noce...the amps sound neutral to maybe a lil on the warm side...they are 165w @ 8 ohm and at 4 ohm??? wished someone could...

here is some pics I have wiped them down so far...and that's it

Just got done checking them out...they are a set of RE 30 ( 12" woofers) ...need to be refoamed and I cleaned them up....and thay play fine....sound good so far, they have some water damage on the pedistool that they sit on, but other than these things, pretty good

Well just got a call from a buddy, and in his neighborhood he passed by a set of CV 12" sitting by the curb...had him stop and grab them for me :banana:...so Im waiting to go get them or he may bring them to me...cant wait to see if they are anything wrong with them...who knows, thet very well...

I have 3 panama power conditioners all have a 12v trigger that I have running from receiver , they power up all my amps and other stuff in seq, works great for me...I just leave everything on, it powers them up and shuts them down

Cerwin vega CLS 215 or the newer XLS (2) 15" woofers in each cabinet= bass, they will play pretty low too

I did my VS 150s last year with a kit from orange co speaker, seemed to be a good kit,Im happy with it

that guy is out there, I watched a few of his other videos, he is wayyy out there...and the comments...lol

And no...was getting a reading of 12 ohms when all put back together( the (2) 15" drivers were 6 ohms each when I took them out and measured them)

yes removed it this am and checked it...looked good ,all tested good for continuity( except the caps they would not give me a BEEP) using my volt meter to check...does that mean they are bad?

so they should be ok to play them...have not used them since I found this out,this is my 1st time running into a problem like this!

So either I will have to buy new xovers, or rebuild these( its the only thing I can figure that's wrong) can I use or get better quality caps, resistors, and induction coils( should I use air coils instead of iron core with bigger wire) ...if I go this route this will be my 1st time trying this

yes...this is how I found my current problem, as was checking things while swapping out another amp...and they ( speaker cables) were very low( canare 4s11)

here is a pic of the xover....I can see the values on the caps and the resistors...but the (I guess they are called coils) I don't know what the values are for these..how can I find out if they could possibly be bad?

This is where I am now...when measuring through the xover is where Im seeing the problems, But can it still work and have something messed up in the xover?
