Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Finally tracked down a buzzing sound... sadly...

They went everywhere. And I don't have a receiver (d2v+A1400). If the noise was coming from source, replacing drivers would not solve the problem.

OK, I too vote for a bad set of crossovers.

As I mentioned in another thread, perhaps related to this don’t remember, I had a bad crossover (figured out by process of elimination) in a new M2v3 which caused the midrange driver to vibrated like it was distorting which showed up after a couple weeks but only when I played a certain scene in ME2.

Axiom shipped me a new crossover and the problem went away and has not returned. I shipped the old crossover back to Axiom.

I'll mention that to Axiom. Altough, do xovers break down after three years... in two separate speakers? Drivers is easy to believe, xover I have more trouble.

Not in my experience. But if they were both from the same lot, maybe there was a lot of bad capacitors or something that went into them... I dunno, doesn't make sense to me, either.

Its unlikely but nothing is impossible. I would still look into troubleshooting the possibility of any crossover issues.

Look at it this way . The crossover components that are used in the matching pair are likely manufactured within the same batch/shipment and maybe even the crossover itself assembled by the same worker. If there is an issue with a certain part or assembly issue I guess it is possible for them to fail relatively close to one another. However, to have it happen after 3 years with the pair would be something akin to winning the lottery. This is a tough one, and nothing should be left out as the cause.

Man. I really need to upgrade my ancient receiver.
