  1. Thanks for your insight. I listen to only vinyl. I use quality vintage decks with quality carts. and stylus. No hum what so ever. I guess I’m pushing the boundaries of  amp power and heavy bass as a previous member replied. I will experiment some options. One thing is I also run external super tweeters which one thing the H1s don’t need. They are all ready heavy on mid and high from the factory. The heavy highs I get cause me to boost the bass. Sounds great but maybe unnecessary. If I back the bass up I’m sure I won’t get the popping. 

  2. Thanks. I was thinking that with two sets of Heresys going on a two channel receiver(Marantz 2270)that I’m diminishing quality at higher volumes. Would changing my remote speakers(301 instead) less starve my mains. With four Heresys I’m getting popping from my woofers. I do like bass but not to the point of distortion.

     Popping? At loud levels? Is you TT isolated from vibrations? Does it pop when playing a CD?

    Thanks for your reply...

    I haven’t tried a cd yet. Has a good set of soft rubber feet on it.  The lps I was playing were a tad on the less than mint condition. Surface crackle. I’m wondering if that didn’t have something to do with it. I definitely heard the speakers pop though. Not vinyl crackle. High volume, not distorted and bass at 90%, mid at 50%,treble at 100%. Like I said I never had this happen with the nova 8s. It did happen with a set of Bose 301s I had hooked up but that didn’t surprise me since I kinda thought the 2270 was a bit much for them.

    +1 on sounding better than the Realistic. If you're 2270 is right, it should sound amazing. What source of sound reproduction are you using (vinyl,  cd, trt, ...)?

     

     

    I listen to only vinyl on either an Empire 398 or a Pioneer PL-61. I use either a Shure M-91 or M-55 cartridge and genuine Shure stylus. 

    However last night I noticed I was getting some “popping” from my Herseys (two sets, main and remote)

    Music was at a pretty high volume with average bass. Kinda concerned. My nova 8s never did this. Granted they don’t sound as good either. What should I be looking into. Replace caps. Woofer? Thanks for any help.
