Energy Eclipse speakers - why the fark is there so much distortion?
I recently bought a pair of Energy Eclipse speakers for my "second system". However, the midrange sounds distorted, to say the least. The reciever has a bit of a DC offset (about 60mv on both channels - I know, I have to fix it), but the treble and bass sound just fine. However, the midrange (right around the xover frequency sounds like distorted carp.
Any suggestions, folks? |

Sorry not too much info to go by from your modest description. Your worry of 0.06 Vdc PA offset would not be a significant contribution to your symptoms. I'd take em back to the seller or get a price adjustment. WAG is blown drivers since they both share the same distortion? Do the cones/domes rasp when gently moved in or out?

I paid $25 - for that much, I can fix them. It's very odd, as the high treble and low bass is fine - it's the midrange that sucks. I'll have to pry off the grilles tomorrow. |

Hint
Can localize the problem better by using a swept tone from a signal generator and a small dia 1 1/2" dia cardboard tube to your ear.
