three weeks of owning the 8.2bs also the p-8 pre...   20hr or so so far . Anyway i have noticed a popping sound.. only slight from the speakers when the cd player is on, and running at normal listening levels and at iregular intervals???...
also (i think its called clipping) when you turn the volume up it comes through the speakers... is this normal for the amps or is there a problem elsewere in my system.
The system also seems a bit bright will this calm down over time or do i need to change some of the components ... based in the uk

cd = shanling cdt-80
speakers= b+w 303s
cable= qed silver anniversary
interconnects= profigold rca,black cat pather xlr

The brightness will mellow after 100 hrs of so of playing. I have Ref 9's, and have never heard any unusual sounds emenating from my speakers, except when I power the amps on or off. Once my CD player is running, it is musical bliss. I would think you have a problem elsewhere in your system. That or you are a Chelsea fan.

It is possible that your Ref 8b (100Wrms) doesn't have the power to drive the speaker. Email support and we can work with you to figure it out.

The QED cables are considered open or bright....

I will give the system more time. i think QED cables are considered open or bright so i will change those in the future.. i will get in contact with nuforce about the speakers thanks for the comments
