Based in the UK.
I bought Eve Audio SC205s (I first bought the SC204 but returned them due to faults with the DSP controls). Right from the get go there have been issues. The DSP would get stuck and would need a hard restart of the monitor. Of late one of the speakers started emitting a random and continuous clicking and popping sound. I tried replacing the XLR and IEC cable, swapped the speakers around, tried it on a different electrical circuit - nothing worked. I own a range of monitors (Genelec, M-Audio, Rokit, Yamaha) and it is only the Eve Audios that have had issues.
I reached out to Eve Audio asking for advice and this was their response:
I was asked to contact their service partners Audio Related, which is what I did. Turns out the solution was not an easy fix but rather a replacement of the amp module itself. So here I am with a bill of £300, which is nearly the cost of a new SC205. If I rejected the estimate, I would still have to pay for the labour and return post (£100).
Steer clear from Eve Audio

The clicking sound indicates a popped capacitor or a broken resistor which should be pretty easy to fix. We should be able to find a quick solution for sure.
