Hey everyone. I bought the R-35 speaker package with a RW-12 subwoofer and have set up the RF-35s and the RW-12 in my room. I am currently powering them with a Pioneer-Elite VSX-82TXS 7.1 reciever. I am running Monster M-Series speaker cable to them.
Anyways, the RF-35s sound great listening to music, they are very sensitive, bright, loud. But I have noticed that when I have no signal running to them, so let's say I am on the SAT or Game input with no satelite box or console....whatever...I get a static buzzing sound coming from the horns on the RF-35s. I sit about 8 feet from them so maybe that is how I noticed it. So then I checked if I could hear it while playing music through my ipod through my reciever and I could slightly tell. I am wondering if anyone else has this with the horns on their reference series speakers or is it just mine. Do you guys think it has something to do with how I set them up with the reciever or could it be a something else in my house (it is an old house, early 1900s) like electrical wiring, ect? Or is it that the horn is just that sensitive and I am being overly critcal? Was going to call Klipsch about it but I thought I would post here first and get to know the Klipsch consumer family. So if anyone has any advice, it would be very thankfull.
Other note. All devices plugged into a Monster Powerbar. Used an older Sony reciever and had same problem. Moved speakers into different room, same problem. Have not set up center channel or surrounds to see if those horns make same sound.
