Hello folks,
My Klipsch corner horns seem to have a problem. I’ve had them for around 10 years, bought them, hooked them up, and simply enjoyed them. Now when I first turn on the receiver and play music after about 30 secs one of the speakers drops out, but not completely, just sounds scratchy and full of muted static sound. I have found if I blip the volume up to 5-7 very quickly then back down to listening volume of 1-2 it comes back alive and will be good till I shut down the system. I’ve noticed it’s not a scratchy volume pot, but seems to be associated with the amount of power I sent to the speaker. Just blipping the volume to 3-4 won’t do it. Also if I don’t mute the receiver before I shut it off a loud pop comes through the speakers at power off.
Could these old korner horns need an upgrade of some sorts? How do I tell if is my receiver or the speakers?
