Scored a steal on used 1200 last weekend for $80. Seller mentioned that one speaker in soundbar had a "creaking" sound with piano music. I thought eh I don't listen to piano anyways so no problem. Auditioned at his house and didn't even hear it though his baby was sleeping and volume was not turned up. Fast forward a couple days after I get it home and connected. Thrilled with movies and even music but I'm bored so I think I'm going to look into the piano music issue. Sure enough one of the right drivers in soundbar makes a staticy noise. When I put a slight pressure on cone it goes away. Changed sources and different surround settings but static is still present. Firmware is all up to date. I start googling and apparently piano music is very taxing on speakers so that makes sense why it only happens there. A little more googling and I can't find where anyone has done any type of tear down on the cinema soundbars. I'm the type of guy that can't help myself and love to tinker so my question is - has anyone torn into one of these? If its some type of alignment issue I might be able to make it better or fix completely. To clarify - I think I need access to the drivers to pull and repair.
