^Thank you for the quick reply. I'll make sure to do what you advised.
One question, what does POT mean?
I hope that the satellites don't give out in less than 2 years. I've had cheaper speakers that still work without a hitch for me since my Intel 486 PC. Although this speaker set costs "only" $150.00 or so, it's still 150 bucks of hard earned dough. Tsk.
Can any Klipsch representative give more advice on how to solve this "crackling" sound?
Much obliged. (^^,)
