Hi guys,
I was living just the perfect life with my sony home theater in a box until i decided to upgrade my speakers, i bought some martin logan MLT-2 5.1 system and conected to my Sony Ht-ddw670 but when i played music at the highest output level, just 30 or 40 seconds after loud playing, the MLT-2 speaker volume decreased to like 30 percent of total volume, then i lowered the volume and after like a minute i was able to raise the volume again but after 30 or 40 seconds once again volume will drop.
I called Martin Logan and they told me that probably my Sony Ht-ddw670 although "100" watt rated, was not powerful enough to play the speakers... so then i bought a new receiver a Sherwood RD-8504, and to my suprise and huge deception it happend just as with the sony...
Then i connected the Sherwood RD-8504 to my old sony speakers and i was surfing through the audio modes (dts, stereo, etc) and the sony speakers completly blow up making a very odd odor...
I sent back the sherwood because it was not 1.4 as stated and also anchor bay was a deception, and i also sent back the MLT-2...
After that i bought a ONKYO TX-NR609 R with a set of Energy take 5.1 classic speakers, The Onkyo receiver is perfect and i am very happy with it, marvel chip works wonders, and after 5 days of playing the speakers at low volume for 12 hours a day to break them in, i started to play them louder... now i was surfing modes from dts to sterio etc, and it happen again... i have front and center speakers blown up... one speaker went completly mute and the others went high pitched...
Before asking the question please note that i run my old sony HTIB at the loudest speaker possible volume, and that i also surfed modes while playing music for 4 years in a row and i never blow up my sony speakers... at least with the sony receiver...
Now, what is going on? why cant i play music loud without blowing speakers? the receiver is 100 watts rated and so are the speakers... i just dont understand and i am running out of ideas, is it possible this is due to a faulty speaker cable? i am using a new RCA 14 gauge speaker cable...
Please help, now i am considering buying the polk rrm95... because they are 125 watt rated, what doy think?
Thanks
