Hello everyone! I was hoping someone could help me with an issue I'm having issues with my speakers
I have a pair of floor standing Monitor Audio speakers, not sure of the model but attached a photo. When I connect them to my Amp (Marantz PM6005) they will cause the amp to shut down after some time (usually about 30 mins to 1 hr). The amp seems to just switch off (no red light which I understand is protection mode), it won't switch back on straight away but I can switch it on again after a few minutes. I'm not sure whether it's overheating or something else.
It seems to only be one speaker that causes the problem as I can replicate the issue when one speaker is plugged in on it’s own but not when the other is. I’ve tried multiple cables and amps and am seeing the same problem. They used to work fine and this issue came about suddenly.
For what it's worth is worth (i don't know if this is relevant) both speakers are bi-wired, but I've tried the same wires and wiring on each speaker and the 'good' speaker still doesn't cause any issues.
I was hoping someone could provide some pointers for:
a) how i could diagnose the problem
b) what i might be able to do to fix it
c) whether it would be worth paying someone to look at the speakers (they were a gift so i don't really know what they are worth and whether just buying new ones would be better)
Thanks in advance!
