Just this morning, I discover that the rear of my HTM1 bleeds a kind of black sticky liquid stuff. It apparantly came from the screw knob inbetween the 4 binding poles, anyone got any idea what's happening?

Leaking capacitor is the only thing I can think of. Maybe?
I would say it isn't good by any measure.-Joe -
You haven't been listening to that Smooth Jazz stuff by any chance have you?
If it's doing that to your speaker imagine what it's doing to your brain.Comment

Do you have a source of heat near it?
Sounds like a melted o-ring.Comment

No pictures as I have wiped it off.
And there's no source of heat nearby other than the room temperature which I think hottest in the day might be 28-30degC max. Gasket can take this temp right? And my speaker isn't even running most of the time these days. Probably about once a week over the weekends.Comment

I'm guessing it still sounds ok?
If there is screws holding the plate in you might want to take them out and have a look at the inside to make sure everything is tip top.-JoeComment

Just had it sent it for servicing. My dealer also had no clue what this is, will have to wait for a week for them to analyse and get back to meComment

wettou, that's really clutching at straws.Originally posted by wettouIt is possessed may be you need a demonizer!
It's much more likely to be caused by dirty mains power which is manifesting itself as black goo.
This problem would be fixed by replacing the amp's power cable with a much more expensive one.

Hired Goon,

Hi Everyone,
I have a large cabinet with all my equipment in it and the T.V. is in the middle of it all. The HTM1 is above the T.V. which is about two meters of the floor but, around less than half a meter above the T.V.
I therefore tilted the HTM1 downwards with a One Inch piece... -
My current set-up is N803, SCM1 and HTM1 driven my Mark Levinson 23.5 (l/R)and Proceed Amp2 (bi-amp center channel).. my processors are Yamaha RX-V1 and Proceed PAV/PDSD pair.

Has anyone bi-amped the HTM1?
I am considering bi-amping my HTM1. The reason is - I am getting new amps (Bryston 7B SST's - 600w monoblocks) for my 802's, but will not bi-amp those. I will continue to use my existing amp (Anthem MCA 50 - 180w, 5 channel) for my surrounds (805's) and for... -
I finally solved my Sony GWIII-HTM1 speaker placement issue by breaking down and purchasing the HTM1 speaker stand. My center channel is now at the proper height sitting directly in front of my monitor. I have readjusted all audio levels to allow for the fact that the center channel speaker is now...
