I was given these Klipsch R-51M speakers. Cosmetically mint condition.
But both of them are very, very scratchy sounding... which the fellow said when he gave them to me.
I'm sure it's the speakers and not the integrated amp I'm testing them with.
I've pulled out the woofer, tweeter, speaker terminals and crossover looking for loose connections or anything obvious... zip.
The woofer cone looks and feels as if it's centered.
The fellow that gave them to me isn't the type that would likely over drive the speakers.
What else, if anything, can I check or do to diagnose this problem?
