    i haven’t tried the Line IN at the front yet, will give that a go an let you know. thanks. very unlikely it comes from the speakers now i think, that's why i'm trying to narrow it down to something else.

    It's on Line 1 at the minute. I originally plugged it into Line 3 i think but i could hear the same distortion.

    new hifi system

    that's what i'm thinking. it rattles even at low volume which makes me think the set might be faulty?i can still return them so i might just do that. they stand on hard rubber bumpers, and it doesn't seem to make any difference unfortunately...
