I was watching a DVD movie last night at moderate levels when I noticed a strange clipping noise coming from the right side of the room.
At first I thought it was part of the movie, but then I quickly realized that it was actually the EP500 creating these strange clipping noises!
I immediately stopped the movie and I could clearly hear a loud buzzing sound coming from the EP500.
I turned the sub switch to "off" and I removed the line-in cable from the back of EP500.
I waited a few seconds and then I turned the sub switch back to "on".
The EP500 made a loud pop,the green light turned off, and I could smell something burning.
I turned the sub switch "off" and I unplugged the unit for 15 minutes but it will no longer power on.
Do you think this could be a fuse issue?
Is the amp fried?
This is an EP500 v2 unit that I purchased new in February of 2008.
The unit has had no problems up until now.
I'm going to call Axiom now but I was just reading a post about these new "digital" replacement amps for these units.
Can someone shed some light on these new amps?
Thanks,
Zak
