I own one of the older Sony Blu Ray players - the Sony BDP 500. It has worked fine over the years but I have noticed that on certain movies, (Transformers, etc...) during certain heavy bass scenes both of my JL subs bottom out. You can hear what sounds like "mechanical noise". The sub plays totally fine but on some "overcooked bass moments" i can hear what sounds somewhat like a popping sound in the speakers. Now I have the volume turned up to reference levels, but it is not turned up to 11!
The strange thing is that I cannot recreate this with any music I throw at the sub - just some DVDs and Blu rays. I am using the Krell S1200U as a processor.
I am starting to think that it may be the Sony player after all... I have done all of the firmware updates, but do you think that this could have anything to do with being an older 1st gen player? I am running the video through the HDMI and the audio through Coax into the Krell.
Maybe it's time to buy an OPPO? Any suggestions are appreciated!
