HOYOC Posted April 8, 2001 Share Posted April 8, 2001 I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO SAY IT, YET I THINK I MESSED UP MY V.2 400 SYSTEM. I DID SOMETHING THE MANUAL SAID I SHOULDN'T AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT RESULTED IN DAMAGING THE SYSTEM. THIS LEADS ME TO MY QUESTIONS/CONCERNS. 1.I tried plugging in the preamp to the sub while the sub was plugged in and the power was turned on. I got in return one of the loudest electro sounds i have ever had in my life are my speakers damaged now? 2. I have not on purpose mind you dropped a couple of the speaker from a desk or shelf that they were on. It was maybe a 2ft drop and they landed on carpet. Are they ruined? 3. Sound seems to be coming from the rear speakers a little stronger than the fronts when the surround switch on the speaker with the preamp is set to midway, is this normal for this system, if so is that the way this effect is suppossed to be? 4. How do I go about purchesing the new preamp and installing it that you can buy as an upgrade for my v.2 400 that comes with the promedia 4.1 system? 5. What types of warranties do you offer for replacement of my speaker system if it is damaged? Wow you must think I am pretty careless, and I really am not. Just a little stupid and I only hope that I didn't just blow up the coolest sounding speaker set I have ever owned.

I am a sound nut as well and I jus hope that you can help me with the few quirks I am having with my current sound setup thanks. email: moez_2@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k27-R Posted April 8, 2001 Share Posted April 8, 2001 does it sound like there's any wrong with the speakers? i don't think the warranty covers negligance, tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan F Posted April 9, 2001 Share Posted April 9, 2001 If the speakers sound okay, they very likely survived intact. (and...let's be careful out there). The rear channels are louder than the fronts with the knobs centered. In most installations, the front speakers are closer than the rears, and so this was the balance chosen. Obviously, you want to adjust the controls to the balance you prefer. You can get a CP-1 preamp from the web site. Do a search on CP-1, and it should take you there. -djf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJediMaster Posted April 22, 2001 Share Posted April 22, 2001 1. I accidentally did the exact same thing and was treated to a loud popping sound from the sats. As far as i know, this hasn't effected the system in any way. 2. I dropped one of my sats from a height of 1.5 meters and it landed on a hardwood floor. That bent part of the metallic stand out of shape. I just bent it back in shape. This did not ruin my sat. 3. It seems pretty even on mine. Just compensate for it using the surround knob. 4. - 5. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOYOC Posted April 24, 2001 Author Share Posted April 24, 2001 COOL, any more opionions would be appreciated. I would also like to know where or how i could get my entire system checked at some klipsch center in san mateo california to see in fact if my speakers are messed or if i am just a luck bastard and my mind is trippin? Thanks and add suggestions of any kind. Also what do peopel think of the CP-1 preamp? Is it a viable upgrade and how do the v.2 400 compare with the new 4.1 promedias post away, thanks.

xr7segfault Posted April 24, 2001 Share Posted April 24, 2001 Just use your speakers. If they sound OK (no scratching/static noise, especially), they're fine. I doubt that you damaged them, especially the ones that were dropped 2 feet onto carpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
