A mystery for you tech gurus out there

Hi all -

I am stumped, to say the least, at what could be going on with my home theatre system. My equipment hooked up is:

-Denon 1913-AVR receiver
-Dual CS7000 (Golden one) turntable (grounded to a casing screw on the receiver case)
-Marantz 5 disc CD changer
-Front speakers: Paradigm studio 60 v1
-Center and surrounds: Sony
-Klipsch subwoofer
-Panasonic plasma TV

So the issue revolves around the front Paradigm Studio 60s. Whichever one is plugged into the FRONT LEFT speaker output on the receiver emits an occasional, loud pop. Usually the pop comes in bursts, and sounds almost like a fireworks show would with a succession of airy-sounding, concussive pops.

I thought it was my receiver (I originally had a Denon 1911-AVR giving me the same issue) and recently got the 1913, and the issue persisted. I have tried using new speaker wire as well. The part that I cant figure out is when i go behind the receiver and switch the 2 front speakers around so that the speaker that was right is now left and vice versa, the popping now comes out of the right sided speaker which is now plugged into the FRONT LEFT output.

How can this be? Any thoughts or ideas?

Sandstone ... this is what qued me
-Denon 1913-AVR receiver
It's a HT receiver not 2 channel receiver and requires balancing of input signal to all channels including sub for balanced response

Turn one channel’s input up a little to much in relation to the others and it will clip before the others

OP descript sounded like clipping to me

Snwbrdrcol, have you switched interconnects/cables around?

The chickens always do come home to roost, don't they.

Yeah, some folks just say what the think, some other think they have to 'prepare' what they say for the audience.
Others even think they are some great speechwriters, then some make on assertion, then they themselves in a later post, blow all that BS to Hell with a Ill thought out tirade.
Guess who Marakantz...

If your claims to go read 'how to respond properly' do not conflict with your own outbursts, then what? Are you just having psychotic breaks? because that is how you come off dude.

I want to read how you handle this comment? With your suggested readings.. you might go back over them for a little self refresher BEFORE you respond? Since you FAIL totally in handling any sort of attack or insult.
I personally do not mind attacks and insults.. Kind of makes me see what others see in me. No problem. Unlike YOU dude.
Hah hahah ha
