My speakers don’t sound right. That is, they sound much better than they have for months now, but they still don’t sound right.
Sometime after moving across town one of my main channel speakers (you know, the stereo pair) developed a crazy hum, crackle, horrible … shitty sound. I called Polk before Christmas and found out that despite being 13 or so years old they would be happy to send me a replacement driver for a reasonable price.
My problem was being sure I ordered the right one, although we were both guessing it was a midrange. I sat on the problem as I’m wont to do. Today I pulled the possibly offending driver to see if anything looked amiss. Seeing as it was so simple I pulled the other and swapped them.
I am now trying to see (or hear, I guess) what’s up. So far, nothing. They don’t quite sound right, but they don’t sound like shit either. Part of the problem is that I haven’t heard them sounding good for months now. The other may be psychosomatic and that’s because I pulled the drivers. It really shouldn’t matter, but it does.
Now the question is, how long this will last? xfingersx and xtoesx.
Birthday Month may be on my side now officially. I damn sure hope so. Let the music reign.
