Hi!
I'm not quite sure if this is the right place to ask, but I got a feeling that someone will immediately know what's going on when watching the example videos.
Bought this pair of Yamaha NS-1000 (rare non-M) speakers in very good-looking condition. Seems that the left mid-range speaker has a bad buzz. Here are two example recordings:
Debussy - Clair de Lune: https://streamable.com/ksugwq
Dom and Roland - Sandcrawler: https://streamable.com/6a53r8
In these videos, I'm switching to the right speaker as a comparison for what it should sound like (no crackle).
I've already ruled out any other sources, i.e. I've used another audio source, another amplifier, and I've swapped left and right speaker channels; the problem's definitely with this left speaker.
Any idea what's causing this? I'm thinking capacitors... Could it be the driver itself or some trapped hair or something? From the outside it appears to be in mint condition. I haven't had a look inside yet as I'm considering to return it, but I know that these speaker units are enclosed, so foreign debris under the membrane seems unlikely. I also haven't swapped just the speaker units for the same reason.
Any suggestions as for the source of this noise is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
