The *NOT BORING!* Hi-Fi faff chat and sales

Re: The *NOT BORING!* Hi-Fi faff chat and sales B&W 603 S2

Two totally different speakers. The 753 are built better and are physically of better quality but their sound can be an acquired taste depending on the music. They are in their 22nd year with me for a reason.

These B&W are a simple standard design but the top driver rearward firing port could do with being on the front or blocked up entirely. They came along much later than the 753 when Hifi was in a slump and it was expensive to manufacture. The cabinets are normal chipboard although the mid driver is a Kevlar weave but the dustcap is rather disappointing when compared to other stuff I'v played about with. My current amplification gives them quite a work out. They were available with a matching centre too for home cinema

They are alright but not to my taste - a bit too billowy in the bass. 753 are as still as tight as a chat's nuff.

legrandefromage,
I wondered if you might be able to help.
I'm getting music from one channel and just hissing from the other channel.
It's the Harman Kardon.
Have tried swapping the RCA leads round.
Funny thing is music will come from the speaker for a second or two,
then just hissing.
 
Re: The *NOT BORING!* Hi-Fi faff chat and sales B&W 603 S2

Have you tried different leads

Is the volume knob making a crackly sound over the speakers when you turn it

Do both channels work when connected to other sources - try other sources through each line input (except phono)

Does music come from both channels when you press and hold the source selection buttons/ knob

Are the speaker wires connected properly with no bare wire touching?

And so-on!

Re:

Does anybody know of a UK based web site that specialise in valve amps?

I have a few and many spare parts, including mains transformers, chokes, output transformers, oil filled caps, etc, that I am considering selling.

Also I have lots of speaker drivers spare, I used to design and build loud speakers for friends and family.

I posted this in another thread by mistake.........
