Help with "popping" Quad 2805


I purchased a pair of Quad 2805s here on the forum.  They arrived last Tuesday and after unpacking and plugged them in one of the speakers immediately starting making a popping sound.

The seller has been unresponsive and I need some sort of repair before I can use them.  I'm in a small town and would have to ship them to whoever can do the repair.  Will probably have to wait a couple of months as I spent way over my budget on these.

Any help provided is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Bob

Are they new tubes? Tubes that are new or have not reached the full burnin period will very often pop and crackle. It's normal break in up to about 60 hours with some tubes.

We're they sold as new or low hours?
