  1. Recently picked these up somewhat on a whim, generally speaking they sound great, but I've noticed two issues with them after using them for about a week. I say these are distinct because one of them only occurs when they're turned on, and the other only occurs when they're turned off. Whenever they're on, there's an audible buzzing coming from the speakers. It doesn't seem that this buzzing occurs on the subwoofer. This buzzing is a consistent volume, it's pretty low and doesn't increase/decrease with volume, so it can be overpowered at a high enough volume or with certain styles of music. It also seems to occur regardless of where the aux cable or power cable are plugged in. I've tested using my home pc, my phone, and my switch, and have tried a surge protector, a ups, and directly into the wall, all combinations of these result in the same exact buzz. It also occurs if the aux cable is not plugged in. I can confirm it does stop if you disconnect power, though. Whenever they're off, there's an audible beeping coming from the speakers. These are also consistent, I'll hear 7 full beeps, the 8th sounds like it's getting cut short, followed by a short amount of silence then this beeping pattern repeats. I haven't timed this silence, not precisely sure how long it lasts, but it's the same length every time. It essentially sounds like some kind of beep code. The beeping occurs on both speakers, and they beep in sync. Occurs regardless of plug combination as well. I haven't let this run for any extended duration of time to see if they eventually stop beeping. I've looked around the interwebs to see if anyone has had the buzzing issues, and I've seen a few different possible reasons; ground loop, bad cabling between the speakers and sub, "some speakers will always buzz," etc. Of course, I've also seen plenty of people mentioning they don't get the buzzing at all, even after years of use. Was not able to find anything that mentioned the beeping I'm experiencing though. So as of now I'm not sure if I want to return these, send them in for warranty, or put them in my closet and stick to using 6XX's for the time being until I buy a different pair of speakers. Does anyone have advice for the buzzing, and has anyone seen/heard about this particular kind of beeping?
