Justy, try to determine whether it is from the receiver. Connect right/left speakers to rear terminals, etc. If the noise comes from the same speakers, then, it's speakers or cable (or signal interference). But it is still possible in your case that it is normal, although I don't know how close your ear is when you hear hiss. In HT setting, you usually set the front two speakers louder than rears. That may be why you hear louder hiss from fronts. Anyways, in my case it was receiver and I think it's the prime suspect. BTW, If I don't hear it from listening position, I would not mind.
Acceptable hiss ?
Is is normal to hear absoultely NOTHING coming out of your speakers when no information is being passed through ? Or should there be a subtle hissing when your ear is close to the tweeter ? I'm getting a slight hissing, and am wondering whether or not this is acceptable. I am using Sonus grand piano fronts / center and Sonus Concertino Rear; driven by a B&k 307.
