hi,
i am new to this forum. a bit overwhelmed by the amount of audio-knowledge displayed throughout this site.
some background information about my sansui au 6900. i bought it second hand a while back and really enjoyed it. i play mostly records with it on an old dual 1225, and a few cds too. i have a pair of celestion ditton 15xr's which arent spectacular yet solid nonetheless. in fact, i quite like them. overall, i thought the sansui in conjunction with the dittons provided a deep full sound that worked just fine for my relatively inexperienced ear. however, the other day i turned on this system and i noticed that the bass coming out of the right speaker channel was a bit weaker than that coming out of the left. i checked all cables and everything was connected properly. over the course of a few days, the signal became weaker and weaker to the point where now there is only sound coming out of the left channel.
so, my big question here is, what is the problem? can i get this fixed or do i have to ditch this fine looking (once fine sounding) piece of audio equipment?
to be sure it was the amp, i hooked up another amp i have, an old yamaha, and it works fine. full signal from both channels. this would seem to suggest that there is nothing wrong with the speakers and that the problem is with the sansui.
i would appreciate any advice anyone might have out there as to (a) the problem; and, (b) how (if at all) i might fix it.
any insights would certainly be appreciated as i hate the idea of putting this thing out on the sidewalk...
thanks.
