    Distinct crackling or static from right speaker

    Not home theatre so much, but I have a pair of Behringer MS16 studio monitors for my PC setup. The right hand speaker has developed a distinct crackling sounds whenever turned on. They're externally powered (NZ, 240v 50hz), and the right speaker only makes this noise whenever turned on. Even if...

    Question on 1959 Crown SXA tube amp power supply, switching noise from half wave rectifiers?? 120hz hum.

    So I got this amp in a trade deal a few weeks ago, and after one issue of basically building it back from scratch, from a blurry schematic from 1960, I still am getting some 120hz hum when the unit is idling, with the inputs shorted. I just replaced the selenium rectifier, and that seemed to...

    Celestion SL6si (have) or ProAc Tablette 50?

    I have the Celestion SL6si, and I like them a lot. They are detailed in the treble but not necessarily that open sounding up there. Would the rather small ProAc Tablette 50, give me anything that I don't already have with the Celestions? Some people rave about them. I am listening in a smallish...

    Can anyone help ID these KLH Reference three-way speakers

    I have searched the interwebs high and low and can't find anything like these. There is no model number or wattage or other info on the back, just the front "Reference" nameplate. I almost wonder if they're custom speakers in a KLH cabinet? Klh Reference 1 by lusciousmane posted May 10, 2021 at...

    Polk Audio Monitor List and History

    I found this great PDF detailing the various vintage "Monitor" series from Polk Audio. I find it very helpful as I try to sift through the various names and renaming Polk did for these speakers. I'm not sure who to give credit to for creating it, but I wanted to post it here for others to enjoy...

    Polk Monitor 10 RESPECT

    Haven’t posted in a while but I just picked a set of these Polk monitor 10s of craigslist for next to nothing, and I am quite honestly shocked at the sound these beasts put out. I’ve been playing my Wharfedale w90s for a year now with a sherwood s 5000 ii tube amp powering them with no...

    Ideas on Yamaha HS80M problem?

    Hello, After 8+ years of trouble free problems, one of my Yamaha HS80M monitors seems to have gone out. The issues are: - no sound (this has been double checked to ensure it's not the cables or interface). - when I turn the monitor off and on, it makes a loud pop and the woofer pops. This is...

    Which ESS AMT Monitor do I have?

    Very excited to have these, and trying to figure out which version they are. They seem to have low-ish serial numbers (1440 and 1596). One woofer is the half rolled damped fabric (?) and the other has a foam surround. Both PRs have foam surrounds. (All the foam looks to be in great shape...

    Polk Monitor 10a's: What would you do?

    I know these are well-regarded speakers by some folks, but now I wonder if I'm in over my head. Please advise. Picked up a pair of Polk Audio Monitor 10A's with the black Peerless tweeters. Guy said one tweeter was blown and could not demo them at all, but I took a chance for $60. Well, got...

    Find of a lifetime! Tannoy Monitor Red 15

    Heil AMT-3 Monitor Reviews/Thoughts?

    I'm looking into possibly picking up a pair of Heil AMT-3 speakers for about $175 from a local fellow. He said they work and sound fine, but the covers are gone, the mid-range and woofers were replaced (Golden-Ear) and crossovers are "questionable." Worth the asking price? Any reviews on them...
