Thanks for all the input. Not being an electrician, I'm not familiar with capacitors, etc. But here's my setup. A Sony STR-590 receiver (new as of June this yr). The main leads are from the amp to the main speakers (tweeter & mid range). Powered subwoofers are connected from the subwoofer out s) to the "line in" connection. Both the Sony and the speakers receive their AC power via the same surge protector. The electric pop or static snap is thru the subwoofers. As for the wiring in the house/apartment. I suspect this is the culprit since the only time the issue exists is when one of the 3 ceiling fans is switched on or off. We are in temporary living quarters in an apartment in central Arkansas. Before we leave the area and the close proximity to Klipsch in Hope, I want to research this issue as best I can and if necessary transport them to the experts. Many thanks again for the input.

I have an older pair of RP-3 loudspeakers which were in climate controlled storage for a number of years. The sound reproduction is light years better than what I've been listening to for the past ten years. However, the issue is this. I get a loud electric static pop thru the speakers when motorized things like ceiling fans are turned off. The speakers are shielded with a surge protector, which is turned off when the stereo is not in use to prevent a potential electrical surge. We've tried connecting to a different electrical outlet, but get the same results. I was told that it could be a ground in the apartment wiring that needs to be replaced, but "likely it's a characteristic of the speakers". I've not had this issue previously so I'm not willing to blame my Klipsch yet. Has anyone else ever had an issue like this? Does this sound like an amp issue to any of my fellow audiophiles?
