My RSW12 sub woofer has died - light comes on, but no sound. The other 5 speakers in my monitor audio silver set up are working fine. I am considering repair or replacement of the sub woofer does, anyone have any recommendations?

Once an item is out of guarantee and you've checked all obvious potential connections etc.,
my question is always the same:
What have you got to lose by opening it up and having a visual inspection?
(You never know what you might see. If you (or someone you know) has access to a multimeter you may be able to do some tests (for open circuit drive unit etc.) before being at the mercy of any 'proper' repairers).

A fair answer
Well, the fact that you've got a light shows that power is reaching that
if you do nothing else, it would be an idea to remove one terminal (or dual PCB connector) from the driver, set your meter to low ohms and check for resistance between the terminals.

When my subwoofer stopped working, it was because of a blown fuse. Replaced the fuse and all fine.

MA are a great company to deal with. My RSW12 went faulty. Out of warranty. Called them, put through to the right person. Job sorted! There is nothing to the internals of the sub. All pretty to replace internal boards and volume eq switches. Think I now have RX internals Ran me to a couple of hundred quid I think.. Maybe less.

Hopefully less 👍
(As we were hoping maybe the price of a fuse might do it....and not that fuse that costs more than a second-hand car).

Honestly. Repair. Don’t replace. If u were happy with the rsw why buy a new model. I believe you will get far less for your money now as well. So would have to spend more. On a replacement with the same performance. I actually sold the faulty components on eBay as well. (I disclosed they were faulty). Got reasonable money as well. Sent in the new parts packaging.

Could I ask what you ended up doing? I have an RSW12 with a hum and crackle. I wonder how hard they are to diagnose and repair.
I got it fixed by a company called electronic.partners - it was a problem with the output protection circuit. Cost just over £100. Worked perfectly ever since.

For a first post you are very perceptive. You say ‘for the size of your room’ but funnily enough that wasn’t stated.
Are you shilling?
