Hiss, hum bad for speakers?


I've got some kind of hiss/hum going on here. Not sure if it is feedback from the high-level connection from my amp to my REL sub or just from connecting multiple amps into wall sockets. The question is, is this hum, hiss, high wine bad for my speakers and gear?

Are you talking about a clearly audible (loud) hum, or is this something where you have to place your ear close to the speaker to hear? It's a rare system that doesn't produce some of the latter, but the former should be addressed. It's probably not hurting anything, but it certainly won't help your enjoyment of music. I suggest you check the REL connections at the amp and make sure your power cords aren't touching any signal carrying cables.
