Calling them today, but without a warranty, it's not looking good. It's funny, even my last sattelite is now starting to sound like it's underwater. Well, I'd be laughing more if I had a lot more money. -Donnie

I just sent this to tech support, but I wanted to hear what the people here thought. I have a set of Promedia v.2-400 speakers from a couple of years ago with the old pre-amp (no off switch, no headphone jack). 1.] For the past year, I've experienced the volume adjustment scratching (you know what this is). But never too annoying or troubling. 2.] Two weeks ago, one of my rear satellites stopped working. I exchanged it with the other satellites of mine and it refused to work from any connection. 3.] A week ago, another rear satellite stopped working. 4.] Last night, one of the front satellites stopped working. 5.] I now have a 1.1 going right now, as the only speakers that still produce sound are the main preamp right-front satellite and the subwoofer. QUESTION : Has this happened to other v.2-400 owners? And if so, could it possibly be anything less serious than permanently blown satellites? Moving/exchanging the satellites around doesn't seem to help. I haven't rewired anything yet. Could it be a pre-amp problem? Interestingly, now that I'm down to 1.1, there's no volume scratching anymore. Sound familiar? Hoping to find a solution other than a cost-filled full replacement. Oh no! Thanks. -Donnie
