Hi
I have a 20 year old system with Onkyo parts and Qln speakers - that have been working great.
Last week one of the speakers had no sound - or almost no sound. It was very low volume, and something was obviously wrong. I swapped the speakers around, etc, and also noticed the same problem when using headphones in that output. Had the same problem weather I was feeding CD, iPod, tuner, etc.
I took for granted that the 20 year old amp had failed. Went out and found a good deal on a Rotel RA-04.
Once home I connected CD, tuner and speakers on the floor, and had it running for an hour or so. It all sounded great.
So, I took it apart and put it all into the hifi furniture, adding Squeezebox and the Apple iPod dock. Powered on, and again one channel was lost - now with the new amp. Only a very low sound on one channel. If I swap the speaker cables on the back of the amp the problem moves to the other speaker. Same problem in head-phone.
Is it possible there is something wrong in a speaker that burns the amp? Could it be a problem with an RCA cable?
My new amp was working fine for an hour...
