REL studio III hum/rumble

I am using a REL studio III with parasound monoblocks. I am using high level inputs. The speakon
left and right are connected to each monoblocks red terminal. The ground is connected to left
monoblocks black terminal. I am using the monoblocks bi-wire posts to connect the sub.

If the amp is in standby, and the sub is switched on I get a huge rumbling sound. This rumble
does not come if the amp is switched on. Another point to note is that the rumble does not occur if the coarse cross-over is at A setting. Also the rumble gradually builds up slowly to crescendo
once the sub is switched on.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

did you try to put the negative to the chassis of your amp instead the terminal of loudspeaker's. you could have a difference of mass in between your output and the chassis. i saw the problem few time with ayre and audio research product. good luck!
