I've been enjoying my Statements and Statements Center for a few months now, but have recently encountered a horrible problem. My L/R ribbons have started to "buzz" when played at high (-20 on my EMO DMR-1 / XPA 5 amp used to drive the LCR) volume.
Still sound great at more reasonable volumes, but i'm afraid i've damaged my Founteks. Is this possible/normal? I was careful breaking them in the first month, but i'm afraid that some recent HT demos at -10 are the root cause of my ribbon noise.
You can see the ribbon/alu vibrating violently at these high volumes, but it decreases at lower levels and sounds (to me, anyways) OK at lower levels.
Any advice before I replace the ribbons? I suppose I could remove the ribbon from the Center and swap it in/out of my LR to check?
thansk in advance
