Hi James

The old speakers were given away as the brother and I never figured we'd be in need of them again.All i have left speaker wise is my small bookshelf Sony Speakers.Along with my old Kenwood receiver.Clearly not Hi Fi grade.But I can tell you that the BCD-Player on that little system told me it is amazing.I will be keeping the cd player.that much is a given.


Hi Andy

You have good logic.I take no offense at all.Actually I am thankful for your and others help here.That's a rare thing in this world.
When i ge off work later i wil try your suggestion of changing the cables.

HI Andy

I just tried the phase thing.On one speaker i did notice a lowering of the volume.And on the other one nothing seemed to change.
I did one speaker at a time and used the balance to be sure.

Having the speakers in phase is a stereo requirement.
 
If they are out of phase, at any instant in time, one speakers driver's cones or domes will be moving forward, while the other's will be moving rearward.  This results in a cancellation of frequencies, most apparent in the bass region.
 
So listening to one speaker at a time shouldn't sound any different with polarity reversed. You need to listen in stereo.

Im 25+ years an Audio Visual Installer and general fault finder (I also own the company   ) . That does not mean I know everything, But it does mean I get daily faults to find, Some are common faults but many are still faults for the first time......You must be open minded about this.


Mad MR H, in your 25+ years have you ever seen a unit power up by itself? I was sitting in my recliner, hadn't powered up the cd player yet but rest of system was on. Then I actually saw the unit power up, I did not touch the remote or anything else.
About 2 weeks before I had placed a cd in the tray. Decided to go to washroom first before pressing play. While in the washroom the music started playing, WTF as I live alone.

I have seen a few similar cases of electronic wierdness all involving components with digital control.  Whether it's static charges, EMI, RF or whatever, some of these integrated circuits are very sensitive.
 
But it you have a power amp with a mechanical power switch power up on it's own, well then, of course, it's time to call Ghostbusters (or similar ectoplasmic removal experts).

Was that one or both grills that fell off? I just want to know if it was a "mono fart" or a "2 channel fart."

Be well...

Just to get the thread back on the track of "not enough low frequency output" instead of "super powerful low frequency output"!
 
Thankfully no one here is into 10.2 surround sound!

HI All

Just had a friend over and he felt that the bass was weak,the mid range was thin.He also feels that something isn't rightand that the overall sound is lack luster.He felt that the speakers sound like there not getting enough power.
