RAPTORMAN Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I was playing around with my sitting position last night. Part of that is getting my ear right on the midhorns of my Khorns. I notice that at a very,very (Almost at zero) low level I can hear music on the left but not on the right. Can this be fix easily or I should just not worry about it. What should I do???

ben. Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 If it sounds even at a reasonable listening level, don't worry about it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.4knee Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Yeah I agree with Ben, your K-Horns are so very efficient and the gain on your amps may not be the same at very low levels and you are simply getting a hint of power applied to the speaker you can hear the sound coming out of. It they sound normal at your chosen listening levels then I would not sweat it. If it is a marked problem at all levels maybe you have a tube stage begining to weaken on the monoblock you have the disparity in volume on.

DrWho Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Is it your ears? or do you notice this when you move up close to the speakers? I too just think it's the gain pot on your preamp or amp...they aren't very accurate towards the bottom end of the spectrum. Do you even listen at a "very, very (almost at zero) low level" anyway?

J M O N Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Don't worry about it. This is not uncommon when you are talking about at zero volume level or just slightly above. It should even out as you raise it just a bit. This is probably only noticable on high efficiency speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAPTORMAN Posted August 7, 2005 Author Share Posted August 7, 2005 Good to hear this is not serious. Now I can sleep better Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 My system does the same thing. If the volume is at the 'just audible' level it only comes from the right speaker. One more bump on the knob and it all evens out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Most likely just a volume control issue at the full off position. If the channels are balanced at normal listening levels your fine. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I have the same problem with my Mac 1900 receiver, and it's a brand new volume control. Sometimes I have to listen that low because my daughter's bedroom is on the backside of one of the Khorns! Luckily, I just bought a (reconditioned, $200 on Amazon) pair of Sennheiser HD-600s!

Colin Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 If the balance seems off at normal levels - the center is askew - then measure, else... foget about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
