Hi there,
this Morning i walked by my trusted KH120A speakers and noticed a relatively low but noticeable sharp crackling sound coming from the tweeter of my left speaker.
I bought the pair in 2013 and had it powered on for 95% of the time as that's what i was recommended in order to avoid thermal aging.
Switching the output level from 94dB through to 114dB changed the noise pattern alternating back and forth in loudness and harshness.
The overall volume of the distortion is low but certainly irritating at the listening position so I'll have to get it fixed.
I need help on deciding what to do:
1. get the kh120 fixed (~-300€) but i wont know when the second speaker breaks...
2. 1. (~-300€) + sell the two kh120a (~+800€) and buy 2 KH 150a (~-3200€ -> -2700€)
The thing is I have a KH 805 Sub in front of my KH 120a pair and so i can't really benefit from the MA 1 DSP-Measurement in the bass range...
On one had i'd love to buy new monitors on the other hand i feel like i wont really have a good bang for the buck compared to the repair.
Help I'm so confused on what to do :S
Thanks for any advice
