First off, thanks for looking
I have been using Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 speakers for a few years now. Prior to recently they performed flawlessly. One day when I turned them on they started making crackling noises and then degraded into nothing but static and popping sounds.
All of the wires and connections look fine. I removed the cover to the amp and the fuse is intact, and all of the solder joints appear intact as well. The only thing odd is that the aluminum frame around one of the large black capacitors got very warm to the touch after only being on for a couple of minutes.
Do these symptoms ring a bell with anyone? These speakers are well out of warranty, so a factory repair is probably out. Are they worth fixing, or is it time to junk them and get something new? They were quite expensive when new, so repairing them would be nice if possible.
Thanks in advance for your help. Please accept my apology is this topic has already been covered. Prior to creating this thread I did a search here, as well as a google search and found nothing.
