    Potentially silly newbie questions

    I've always just bought the cheapish boxed set version of things. When i got my first home theatre set up it was the all in one panasonic five speakers and dvd player type deal, so problems with matching components and getting the best set up has never really been an issue. But I recently got a good tax back and decided to break out and I bought myself a Denon AVR 791 (couldn't afford the marantz one I wanted), and b&w 684 and 686 speakers.

    My problem is the 686s which I have set up for rear sound, chirrup.. or squeak, not sure how to explain the sound, it is kind of like squeaking polystyrene on a window. If I am sitting close to one I can notice the squeaking as a strange background noise to speech or other higher pitched sounds. the front speakers give clear speech and the rear ones squeak it out, very annoying

    What I want to know, is this something that is normal? or is there something wrong with how things are set up that could be causing this, is it an easy fix or should I be taking the speakers back. The speakers are set up about 12 cm away from the wall and set at an angle of about 30 degrees, I can't place them any further into the room. We've run the whole audyssey set up routine a few times. there are times when I just switch them off and stick to plain old stereo because the sound gets so annoying.

    If only the rear speakers are making the noise, try swapping the ones you know are good and see if you still get the noise. That's definitely not normal.

      Does it happen on all inputs? How is your system connected?

        freedom of speech-not here
        by crytklmass
        Well, I used to visit this site often and the advice was great. I also thought there was freedom of speech and freedom to express your differences. After all, no one here is an expert in any one subject which is why this forum and others exist. Perhaps ill re-visit in a few months and see if things...

        The King's Speech deserved all those Oscars
        by George Bellefontaine
        Probably not a film for everybody. It moves slow, is about The Royals, and if you have no knowledge about the Royal Family and its history, you may find it all a bit confusing. But this is one helluva movie with fantastic performances by Colin Firth in particular, but also great supporting performances...
