Question YAMAHA HS 7 Higher freq distortion

[Chrisriga]

Hey there, a month ago, I bought a pair of brand new HS7 speakers and have been loving them so far. However, recently, I noticed that when playing higher piano notes, the tweeter on one of the speakers distorts. This distortion occurs only when the volume is above 30%. The other speaker sounds perfect. I've tried switching the XLR balanced cables, changing the power source, and even switching the interface, but the issue persists. Could it be a defective tweeter? Thanks.

Could be the amplifier?

If you haven't already done so, swap the speakers left to right - if the problem moves, it's the speaker, if not it's something else.

Or just swap the cables - left to right only at one end, and if the problem STAYS, it's the speaker

Fixed - The issue was with the tweeter itself. I brought the speaker to the local Yamaha warranty service, where they agreed something was not right with the tweeter and changed it within a few hours. Now, it sounds great.
