Hello,
I was hoping I could get some advice from my fellow AVS forum members on a strange issue I am having in my theater. I am getting a intermittent static noise from some of the channels. The first time I noticed was from the surround backs (Paradigm Millenia 30 on walls), I was convinced the speakers were just blown so I replaced the blown drivers as the static seemed to be coming from the upper woofer of each speaker, I did not use the theater again until the replacement parts came in and I replaced and all seemed fine, several weeks later I was in the theater listening to music and experienced the same static, this time from the left front channel, so I assumed another blown woofer (I do drive my system hard at times but never beyond ref level, when I am pushing hard I am at -5db tops) . I again purchased a new woofer and replaced...fired up the system and the static started in again almost immediately from the same channel, this time I noticed it was coming from all the drivers within that channel, in other words the static was coming from the woofers and tweeters incased in the left front speaker (multiple driver speaker). I am trying to narrow down the source of the static, It first happened from an Apple TV and this time it was Tivo , so I doubt its the source components, its also different amps, the front left is powered by an Outlaw m2200 while the rear surrounds are powered by an emotiva XPA5, I am using a Yamaha RXA2020 as a pre, So I am thinking it must have something to do with the receiver preouts or perhaps wiring interference. If anyone has experienced this I would appreciate any guidance. What concerns me is that this happened on now three separate channels and two different amps, and its intermittent. the static is quite loud and as you can imagine annoying. I will begin by replacing speaker wire and receiver to amp interconnects...but I am unsure why it would be intermittent which is why I am thinking it could be interference from another powered source that too close to the speaker wire...or the Yamaha is no good which I also find unlikely since its not that old.
any suggestions/helps greatly appreciated
