Stacey Wilsman Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Can anyone give me an idea for a muffled volume in one speaker. It fixes itself we I turn the volume up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Swap the speakers on your amp/receiver first and see if it’s an amp or speaker problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosen and tighten every screw on the input terminal and on the crossover network. It’ll remove years of oxidation and give a much better signal path.

blindman Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Funny story? When I bought my pre-owned Klipschorns the fellow who sold them to me told me that he was selling them because his wife felt like the bass was lacking. The first thing that I noticed upon picking them up was that they were not sitting in the corners of their listening room. So I dismissed their concern and attributed the bass issue to improper positioning of the speaker cabinet. However when I set them up in the corners of my listening room - and listened to them - I had to agree that there was something wrong with the bass. So I opened up the access doors on the sides of the Khorn bins and guess what I discovered? Mice had built nests inside both bass bins! The nests were pressing directly against the woofer cones!! The nests were preventing the cones from moving!!! After I removed the nests that the mice had built - the bass was much louder . . . YMMV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
