prospector Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Hello Audiophiles, I am looking 4 some help with a speaker problem.My speakers ,left and right sound flat,as in the percussion/snare drum and the vocals sound distant like that part of the sound is coming from another room.The bottom end still seems ok.I have tryed switching components,different amp,different speaker cable etc,things don't change.I am mystified that it is both channels that sound tinny and flat,if it was a tweeter I would expect only one channel 2 sound ordinary. Should I consider the crossovers as the possible cause?I am not sure how much they can affect the sound quality. Can anyone help me? thanks Prospector 1
Guest Muon Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Please list components, speakers, amps and sources...a bit about the room might help also
bullet Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 probably the flux capacitors you're using in the crossovers..
Guest yamaha_man Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Sounds like they are out of phase, check speaker cables are connected correctly,

prospector Posted May 1, 2015 Author Posted May 1, 2015 Sick Speakers; Thanks to everyone that replied to my question. More Info;the speakers are definitely not out of phase as it has been connected that way for years. How do I check the tweeters and crossovers,there are two in each enclosure,one dome tweeter and one ribbon tweeter. Also 4 x 6.5 inch drivers in each ,appreciate the help regards Prospector

I suggest you swap the positive and negative wires on ONE speaker, just to be certain. I reckon Yamaha Man nailed your problem.
