FooF Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 well my rear speakers started making a buzzing noise. it never goes away and its louder than the ambient hiss that is normally present when the volume knob is turned way up. it only occurs when the preamp is plugged into the sub (even if its not connected to the computer at all). its not interference because i put the subwoofer in a room by itself away from anything else. plugging the preamp in still caused the rear speakers to buzz. i talked with klipsch support and they want me to send my SUBWOOFER AND PREAMP to them... the problem is i think its going to be like $40 or more just to ship that humungous subwoofer, even if i knew how the heck i could package the thing in the first place... would i be better off assuming the preamp is shot and just get a new cp-1 ? i doubt the cost would be any higher, and i would get an upgrade this way... is there any chance the amps are shot and not the preamp? anyone else who has buzzing from rear speakers have their problem resolved ?? let me know... i hate to ship the subwoofer and preamp to discover the problem was with the preamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin_tx_16 Posted August 14, 2001 Share Posted August 14, 2001 well, if you are under warranty, as i am sure you are, you will probably just have to send in teh pre amp, that is what amy told me when i asked heer two weeks ago. ------------------ -justin I am an amateur, but if it is professional help you want contact Amy.

justin_tx_16 Posted August 14, 2001 Share Posted August 14, 2001 here is aquote from amy: quote: Hi Justin!Just send us the preamp, and we'll go from there. Sounds like the problem will be limited to that part. Be sure to unplug everything (including from the soundcard) and reseat all connections and try again before packing the pod away. If still no luck, send to: Klipsch Warranty 137 County Rd #278 Hope, AR 71801 Please include a letter with your name, address, phone #, description of the problem, and a copy of your receipt or your order confirmation number.

justin_tx_16 Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 well, maybe your problem was like mine... but you might want to play it safe and send it off. i do not have to worry about my speakers breaking like that cause i will trade them in in 7 days for the 5.1's. ------------------ -justin I am an amateur, but if it is professional help you want contact Amy.
