So it’s been awhile since I posted in here! But like before I’m in need of advice. I purchased my ESLs in 2013. Had them set up for about 4 years, no issues.
We move in 2018 and I pack up my speakers in the original packaging. They were stored in a spare room until last week when I finally had my new theatre room ready.
I purchased a new Anthem MRX 740 figuring that it would be strong enough to power up my ESLs and FX2s for surrounds and rears.
I set it up, turn on the receiver, seconds into it, it shuts off showing “Amp protect”
I turn it on again but decide to run the ARC genesis. It started with the Front Left ESL. The tone sounded for about 2 seconds, then I hear crackling, then static for about 3 seconds, and I get a message, critical sound issue. Sound stops in the speaker.
I then smell burning and see a little smoke from my speaker…
What happened to it? Is this a common issue? Can it be a receiver issue?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
