Hi everyone,
I own an Anthem STR Integrated amplifier and I’m reaching out to see if any other owners have experienced a similar issue.
After about 1–2 months of use, the amp started producing a noticeable pop sound through the speakers, especially when turning the unit off, and occasionally on power-up as well. The noise is more prominent through the woofers, and it happens regardless of volume level or input source.
I’ve tested it with different speakers (including a smaller pair), different power cables, and even a different power outlet. The pop remains. I’m using XLR connections, and my speakers are Revel F226Be (90dB sensitivity).
Has anyone here experienced something similar with the STR Integrated?
Is this a known behavior, or should I push for a replacement/repair?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
