No, I asked about this and only 1 year on the new one.

Dr. House, I don't think there's a voice coil issue. It's just my nature to second guess everything when it comes to stuff like this. There is no damage to the woofer visible and I never drive it to ear splitting levels. Loud some times yes. But never over kill.

It hums and thumps and scratches like crazy now when I plug it in. Doesn't matter whether or not it has a signal going to it. I just plugged it in with no cable attached and it was so bad I immediately unplugged it. It was a constant sound.

I sure hope this new amp lasts for a while. This is rather ridiculous.
