woofers gone wild


Hi folks,

My new Unison Unico amp sounds fantastic, but there's something slightly strange going on that I've never seen before.

When the amp turns on after its 20 second slow start, the woofers on my speakers make a popping sound and recede about a centimeter back into the cabinet. What the heck? Is that normal? When I switch black and red on the back of the speakers, the woofers pop outwards. Either way, the woofers pop back to normal when I turn the amp off.

Any clues as to why this might be happening?

Thanks!

On closer examination it's more like a few millimeters. Still more than I'm used to. What adjustments might need to be done, and how can I do them?

Thanks.
Thanks for the continued help. There are no dealers or technicians in the area, but I do have a friend who's an excellent mastering engineer and quite good with electronics. Is this something anyone decently versed in electronic repair can fix, or do I really need a specialist? Would someone be willing to explain to me in laymen's terms what the adjustment would involve?
Hi,

How do I do that? And what's the pot?

Believe me when I say I'm a -complete- idiot when it comes to the basic technical workings of my audio system :)

Thanks again.
Hi folks,

Just took the amp over to my mastering engineer friend's house, and we spend a long time taking measurements. The DC offset is -3 volts into a 4 ohm load. That can't be good. I'll call the Unison people tomorrow.

Thanks for all your help.
