Last night, while watching "Raiders of the Lost Ark", my right rear speaker (RS-3) totaly distorted. The tweeters sound ok, but the woofer sounds terrible. I swapped outputs on the amp and the distorted sound stayed in that speaker, then I removed the speaker and connected it to a front speaker cable, still sounded bad. I took the grill off and tried to press the woofer, it was very stiff and would not move at first, then began to move but feels very sticky. Definatly a blown speaker!!
Funny thing is, it really was not very loud.
The more I think about it, I have had some distortion from this speaker for a while, I noticed it when I first played DVD-A or MC SACD, but it was very slight and intermitten before, and only at low volumes.
Anyway, it is still covered under warrantee, so I am dropping it off at Tweeter for service after work.
Wish me luck!
