power amp condition durring dvd playback


my amp is carver tfm15 with the power meters. when listening to music, the volume can get quit loud without the needles even moving. but i have noticed on a couple of occations the needles will be hovering just above 0 or even as high as .1 watt with little or no sound coming from the speakers. happened today at the begening of crash.

has anybody cought their amp doing this?

anybody have any idea what could be causing this condition?

also like to tack on a speaker question. which nht centers have the same tweeter as nht 2.5i?

thanks everybody.

I would not worry about it if there is no audible distortion. There could be some sort of subsonic (doubtful) frequency passing through that you can't hear but your amp is reproducing even if your speakers are not.

Place a decorative item in front of the meters and live happily ever after.

If you want a good center channel speaker for the 2.5i try a single SB3. The old Audio Center-2 was a good match (having the same tweeter and mid/woofer). These pop up every so often but are not available NIB. THere is also a new big center coming out that uses a tweeter/super tweeter array that may be good (for movies and such).

Good luck!
