Hi everyone,
First post here and hope it is in the right place? I couldn't find a technical part of the forum so here goes.
I have a Denon PMA720AE amplifier that is coming up to 5 years old. Due to financial issues I was using PC speakers through the headphone socket until able to buy some "proper" speakers.
I bought some secondhand speakers and hooked them up. For a couple of days the sound was amazing. Then one day I noticed the volume in the right speaker had diminished quite severely and become incredibly distorted. As they were old 2nd hand speakers I naively assumed it was a speaker fault and ordered some Wharfedale speakers I had been saving up for as a replacement.
Well, it seems it is not the speaker at fault, I'm experiencing the same issue with the new Wharfedales. I have swapped over the cable from the speaker that was working fine and tried it in both channel A and B of the amp and still the same quiet, distorted issue.
What else could be causing the issue? Is it likely that a 5 yr old amp is already on its way out? Is it simply a channel blown that can easily be repaired?
Many thanks in advance.
