I recently purchased a Manley Chinook and introduced it to my audio chain. My chain now consists of a totally restored Sansui 1000, Manley phono pre, Empire Turntable, 1982 Klipsch Cornwalls. I've recently turned it up louder than normal, but not fully cranked, and not more than a few minutes. Perhaps the volume on the Sansui was shy of half way up, around 11:00.
The next day I noticed my Sansui's treble was all messed up. I had to turn the treble almost off to make it sound right. If I put it at the normal 12:00 position (flat), it sounds really thin with way too much treble. Now when I crank the bass knob I get a loose bass and it starts this low frequency hum when the bass and volume of the receiver get turned up past 9:00. Any idea on what could have happened? I have B3 crossover's, k77 Tweeters, K57 drivers/horns, k33E woofer. Everything is stock and sounded great to this point. It's not the receiver, preamp, or turntable as I've cross checked all of them with different speakers and they sound and respond just fine. A back up Marantz receiver does not sound great through the Cornwall's now. It's the Cornwalls...
