Understood. Makes perfect sense to me. Thanks so much guys. If there's any more info you could think of sharing with me it will be greatly appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you so much guys! So, it seems that my best best (for now) is to deoxidize the interior with an electric spray and hopefully this will make the sound (namely the crackling) a lot better? Again, my apologies for the lack of knowledge on this topic. I'm here to learn--and you all have been incredibly helpful, actually. Best, GR

Thank you all for the replies, it is greatly appreciated. I believe it's just the amplifier (the wires are brand new) and I've tested the speakers separately and they worked just fine. Here's a photo of the connections. Truly appreciate all of the help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, I would love anyone's advice on helping me properly set up my Heresy 2's to my Marantz 2230 amplifier. So, I have tried to connect the wires to the terminals and the amp but I'm getting a good amount of crackling. I'm new to the home audio game and have an affinity for vintage systems. However, I am a bit frustrated because I am quite certain I may just be connecting the system improperly. When I turn on The amp I immediately get loud crackling (the volume isn't even turned up at all!) If this helps at all, the wires I am using are Belden 9497 Audiophile Speaker Cable Wire. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
