Hi all. I'm starting to have a nervous breakdown. Who new buying all new equipment would lead to the troubles I'm having. Poor guy at paradigm hates my emails. And none of my troubles have been their problem.
Anyways. Now my rear right speaker is making static noises quit loudly and then it will start making popping noises. That get worse with time, playing any source.
So far I've deduced it's not the speaker. I changed rear speakers same noise persisted. In the same channel. So both speakers sounded bad on just the one right rear channel.
I checked speaker cables by reconnecting a brand new strand of bare wire cable. (Just one thing though. The speaker wire is from the same spool as the original cable I was using. I'll have to get another spool. It's the last of the wire on the spool.) And the static if anything got worse. So is it possibly a bad spool. I used this wire quite a while ago and never had an issue. So I don't know. Unfortunately for me all my other cables are terminated banana's and I need a bare wire fore these millenia one speakers.
Now the reason for me being on this thread, my receiver. Marantz sr6010 finally with help from the good folks on Audioholics, just sounds amazing.so I hope to keep all of my calibrations and settings. Other than this problem. Good God I've had troubles, now with it possibly being my receiver I'm at the end of my limited hifi knowledge. So if not the wire it must be the receiver, is what logic tells me.
Any ideas. A setting or the fact that I changed my speaker sizes recently and brought them to 80 Hz. Except for the rears I didn't make any changes it was small and set to 120Hz. Which I was told to leave alone.
Here's my list.
Marantz sr6010.
Paradigm prestige 75f's.
Paradigm prestige 45c.
Paradigm millenia ones.
Paradigm millenia sub.
Oppo 103 Universal Player.
Arris PVR. Shaw Cable.
If any other info is needed I'll add it later. This is all I can think of right now.
Thanks
