Hi All
I'm facing a problem with my Clarity's and need your help
I recently picked up a used Anthem MRX-700 to replace the Anthem MRX-300 I was using. Within the first few days of using it I noticed the music pulling to the left. I got out the SPL meter and found that the RIGHT Clarity panel output was suddenly lower by 3db. To test whether it was the speaker or the amp, I swapped speakers (R to L) and concluded it was a speaker issue.
Today, two weeks later, the panel of the swapped working speaker which is now on the RIGHT suddenly goes dead but the blue LED still comes on when the music starts. The woofer is working, but the panel is dead. When I pumped up the decibels and put my ear to the panel, I can hear very very faint highs from just one corner of the panel. Otherwise, the entire panel is just dead.
Could this be a speaker problem only or did the amplifier cause this? Two panels damaged on the same RIGHT channel of the amp (the first -3db and the second dead). Is there some current leakage or something else?
Oddly, in both cases the blue panel LED’s of both speakers light up when the music starts implying the HV boards work.
I’m confused as to what to do? If it is the MRX-700, can such a problem even exist? Or is it the speaker boards?
Just FYI, I re-Mylar’d and recoated the panels in Sep2015 using the ERAudio coating. The Clarity’s worked just fine till I got this Anthem MRX-700. I used the Anthem MRX-300 before this and never noticed any sound drop.
