For some reason, I am now thinking of this Adam Sandler song Piece of Sh!t Car. Must be the reggae tones. Language is NSFW but the video part is SFW. Funny to hear the backup singers curse like sailors.

I think it's a lot funnier in the radio edit version, where they use horns to bleep it out.

Problem is still there, just intermittent. I *hate* intermittent problems!
I've gone so far as to replace bare wire connections with banana plugs, to no avail. In fact, the frequency of problem occurrence is probably higher.
I have this really bad feeling that I'm going to end up in a serious discussion with the yammie dealer, and we're going to be talking about Mac minis, and how he doesn't know anything about them, and blah, blah, blah. Sigh. The doco on these things is so shit.
Mind you, I'm now the proud possessor of a chinese-made tractor, and that's pretty obscure wrt doco. There are lots of examples, but my favourite is the chapter entitled "Trouble and Shooting" I guess if worst comes to worst, I can shoot the sumbitch (tractor or yammie dealer, I'm easy)
Regards, David

Finally found the problem, and it wasn't the yammie after all, but one of the M60s!! If I replace that M60 with any of the other speakers (including using the same cabling, banana plugs and port on the yammie), all is OK.
Bummer. Have contacted Axiom re how to replace the bad boy.

Could be a simple check of the interior wiring for each driver, or the speaker terminals. Just losen a few screws and check each driver. That would be easier than shipping a whole speaker back to the states.

Good thought, I'll do that. Given the distance they've travelled, anything might shake loose.
Thanks and regards, David

With most AVR's, even one little wire strand on a speaker wire touching the opposite terminal can put a receiver into protection mode.
My guess is the same thing might happen within a speaker, just a guess. I'd see what Axiom says as well.
