tdonovanj Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I recently got back my Denon AVR 888 from the repair shop. They had to replace two power supplies. When asked my wife told them the Denon was driving my Heresey I's. They said it was posible that the 12 ga zip wire I was running to these "old" speakers resulted in the damage to the Denons power supplies. I find this hard to believe, bit thought I would ask people I trust before I set my system back up. I am running these as a true stereo system. Thanks in advance and sorry to bring up the dreaded "speaker wire" topic, but in this context maybe its relevant? Tim Donovan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 My thought is only if the speaker wire itself was shorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ69 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I think he might have thought some errant strands had shorted against the opposite terminal. Other than that I have no idea. Thanx, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Donovan The reciever could only be hurt by the speaker or wire if there was a dead short somewhere on the wire. Even then, it shouldn't fry the power supply [bs] [bs] [bs] [N][N][N] Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo33 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 They don't have a clue do they? They said it was posible that the 12 ga zip wire I was running to these "old" speakers resulted in the damage to the Denons power supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
