Bad Cornwall IV?


Hi guys. I finally upgraded my decades old receiver to an Anthem MRX-1140 to compliment my Cornwall IVs that I bought a few months ago. While running through the room correction ARC software the right front speaker sounds very different from the left and center (all Cornwall IVs). Can someone look at this graph and let me know if the speaker is bad or what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance!

The cables are secure and the placement is correct. I've re-done them just to make sure and the same issue happens. I thought that speaker sounded different when I first got it but I thought it might be because I had it plugged into a cheap AVR. Now with the room correction software you can hear that the highs sound "underwater".

 

I still have warranty on the speaker so I'll exchange it and let you guys know if that fixed the issue.

 

Thanks!

I'm not exactly sure what singe vs bi-wire is so here's a picture of it and you tell me! 😅

PLOT TWIST!

 

I took off the binding posts in the back and put them back on and tightened the heck out of them with my fingers. I also played some EDM music at 25db which is LOUD (95db according to my decibel meter). I then re-did the room calibration and the right speaker is now PERFECT!

 

What the heck? Any thoughts??

Ohhhh you meant the wire inside the speaker? I guess I could open her up and check!
