Hello everyone. It has been quite some time since I last posted. Divorce will do that to you. My Monolith IIIPs have been stored, along with my other audio equipment for over four years without use. When I powered them up recently, the speakers exhibited a strained sound in the upper panels. The sound became noisy and began to die. I had my Audio Research SP11 pre-amp and VTM 120 amps serviced and repaired last week. When I re-powered everything. The same problem occured. (The amps had blown fuses and resistors, and some tubes were bad, so they needed repair). When I play at very low levels I can hardly notice bad sound. But, when the music rocks at higher (not too loud) levels, the sound strains and actually goes away. I replaced the amps and pre-amp with different units and the speakers still sound strained at certain parts of the music. Can this be the panels going bad or the crossover/power supplies?
thanks,
