Thanks for responses and suggestions.

Hello, I am reaching out to the community in hopes of finding some insights regarding what I see as an issue with my RC64 center speaker. Everything is great, the sound is crystal clear, except the dialogue volume in the movies is for the most far always too low. God forbid there’s whisper dialogue in a scene. Can hardly hear it. It is very annoying and hard to enjoy watching movies. When I raise the volume on the center channel, the dialogue is much better, however as soon as there’s anything louder in the scene, then the overall volume is way too loud. So this is not really a solution to bump up the volume on the center itself. It’s like there’s no right balance. TV’s built in speaker sounds normal in terms of dialogue. Tried calibrating but that did not help. As far as I remember, dialogue was much better sounding, normal on RC 62, before I updated to RC 64. Front speakers are RF 83. I have it hooked up to Onkyo TX SR805 Receiver. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It is constant, not crackling. I will try to place it in a different room to see if it continues. If it does, I will assume something must be wrong with the speaker. If it doesn't, something in my living room must be causing it. There is nothing I can think of around that might cause it, like radio stations or high voltage lines. Thanks!

Hi, My RF 83's generate static sort of noise that is coming out of horns. It is not loud or anything, you have to put your ear close to the horn to hear it. This is when receiver is not turned on. Turned on the receiver with volume all the way down and static became bit quieter, turned off and became louder again. Disconnected speaker cables, static remained. I placed the speaker in the middle of the room (all cabling disconnected) away from receiver, static much quieter but remains. I only have coax cable running behind the speaker, and receiver about a foot away. I was thinking that it might be interference but as I mentioned when I moved the speaker away it still remained. The second speaker also has static but it is less. Somebody told me that when I disconnected speaker cables I should not hear anything. Klipsch would not give any detail info, just said to bring it back to the store for warranty service. Does anybody have any input on this? It would be much appreciated. Thanks.
