  1. Welcome, I have been here for almost a week now, and no one welcomed me! I think I have a hunch. Anyway, if you play very compressed music very loudlit may cause a problem, but my guess is your amp is either failing or clipping. Clipping happens when you overdrive your amp. Its much easier to damage a speaker with an underpowered amp than by using an amp that can deliver more power than your speakers are rated to handle. A simple way to explain headroom is extra power so that when the program contains bursts of loud sound the amp can deliver clean power without overloading. "Clipping" refers to distortion that looks on a scope like the top of the waveform is "clipped" off. It's usually more likely to fry a tweeter, but can damage woofers too. Check your speaker connections first. If the speaker has biwire connection, make sure the jumpers are making contact. Next step is to switch speaker wires to see if a channel of your amp is out. You might want to use more caution and use a different amp to test the speakers in case your amp has become a speaker killer. good luck!
  2. a couple "redbook" cds that sound great come to mind: Hotel Child- Ingrid Lucia and the Flying Neutrinos -great drums on 1st track, great sound throughout Migrations- The Duhks - in a darkened room "who will take my place" sounds hauntingly like it did live Tijuana Sessions Vol 3- Nortec Collective -my favorite Mex/techno, no really, give it a chance!
  3. kg4 or kg4.5? Knowing they are very different speakers, for the same money, which would you buy? I would like to run them with low power amp, no sub, some of the time. What's your preference and why? -thanks
