Miner44 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Hi all. I’m new to Klipsch and their audio equipment, but after hearing a set of my friends premier series speakers I was sold. I got a really good deal on a set of R820F’s from Best Buy up here in Canada. I just received them from purolator today. The problem is I was listening to a movie and noticed the left tower was making a buzzing noise at certain tones. It was around the top woofer area. It got worse as the movie went along. I’m thinking voice coil or crossover issue? Sounds like a blown speaker anyways. I’m taking it back obviously and am kinda thinking of just sticking with my tried and true Cerwin Vega AT-15’s that never let me down. Any ideas from the gurus? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glens Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Loose screw or internal wires rubbing on something? I'd pop the woofer out and have a look before going to all the trouble of returning them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyrc Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Don't void the warranty! Best Buy might not take them back if you remove the woofer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Just switch speaker cables (L R ) and make sure it's the speaker. If it is take it back and replace. I can imagine the going from at15 to 280 is a big change . If you're after home theater the 280s should do great.I have at15's and the only reason I use klf30 instead is the great upper end. The at 15 is a rock monster regardless of what ANYONE says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
