A related question: Do overmodulated upper midrange notes always suggest speaker damage? I've got two pair of speakers that I've been swapping in- and out for a few weeks now, and they both make the same rattly / overmodulated distortion when playing certain passages of piano music, especially piano music just above middle-C. I don't think it's the recordings because the sounds don't seem to track across the two sets of speakers -- but it does seem an awfully specific type of dissonance to be mechanical failure of one or more of the drivers. Shouldn't I hear the same distortion with other instruments?
crackling noise at high volume
and its not my Rice Crispies ... when I turn it up to 1pm on my Bryston B60, feeding my Totem Arros, it breaks up. This is pretty much the highest volume/decibel level I could possibly push this system to. WHen its medium loud, no problems.
Any ideas who is at fault here?
