I'm in rough shape...

Hey guys...thanks in advance for any help.

So here is my setup:

[*] Panasonic p65vt50
[*] Bowers & Wilkens 683 tower speakers
[*] Bowers & Wilkens Center Channel (Forgot model)
[*] Bowers & Wilkens M1 surround speakers
[*] Yamaha RX-A820 receiver
[*] Audioquest Type 2 Speaker Cable
[*] Audioquest Banana Plugs



My huge problem is this. My receiver when doing the mic test only shows the right surround sound speaker. I have checked the obvious, red on red, black on black, etc. However, I have no idea what could be the issue first? My first guess would be to take the right surround speaker and see if it works on the left side which would eliminate a cable issue.

Any other ideas?

Thanks so much for your help.

Frustrating...

OK thanks so it's a new setup. Front towers and center work perfectly with the receiver. Just got the surround sound speakers tonight and cut the cable and no luck. I haven't tried other sources as of yet but maybe that's an idea.

Are you saying this might be a possible receiver issue? I always and will check out everything so I have another Yamaha upstairs where I can check both speakers.

Really appreciate it!

Thanks so much.

So impossible! LOL...a bad B&W speaker?? Who would have thunk? Took the one on the right that wasn't working and replaced it with the one on the left and it started working. Then, just to be sure...put my Polk in the right spot and it's working perfectly along with the good B&W on the left. I'm wondering if maybe my speaker was dropped?

I really appreciate your help on this.

I'm really shocked a brand new B&W set of speakers would go bad.

That being said. Can I mix surround sound Definitive Speakers with B&W front and centers or would you advise against it? The Definitive Surround Speakers sound amazing for the same price.

Please let me know and thanks again!
