My center speaker appears to be defective, but I have no idea on how/what to test. Here's the situation.
My Rotel receiver shuts down (goes into protective mode) during certain movie scenes when played at high volume levels (80 on the volume scale of the Rotel). I can repeat this at will. Swapping the center speaker's cable to one of the (bigger) main front speakers or one of the (smaller) surround speakers plays the same scene just fine.
Problem is, just listening to the center speaker by itself doesn't reveal any obvious problems (e.g. blown tweeter). The company that makes the speaker hasn't responded to my calls (rumors have it they've gone out of business).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Frank
