Hello to all.
I have a set of Wharfedale Pro LX-12 which I love.
Hooked them up recently again and noticed that when a song is playing and the bass hits the top speaker (only on one in this case the left) cuts in and out with a little crackling while the right one plays perfectly. Lower the volume and it seems to come back and stay steady.
Bottom end plays perfectly. The just the top on one speaker.
Seems like something is loose. checked the wires inside and all connection to the speakers seems sound.
Anything else I should check that may be a known culprit to my issues with the speaker? 😕
Thank you in advance and hope everyone stays safe.

I would move it to the other amplifier, swop the leads over and if it still does it but the 'good' speaker is OK on the 'bad' channel. then the speaker is at fault. otherwise it is a fault in the amplifier.
i would have a more thorough look at the x-over board and it's components for bad cracked solders what you are describing suggests vibration is causing a bad connection to get worse...
As above... both of them.
Check that the fault stays in the one cab (and try both connectors), and if it does, check the soldering in the faulty cab (from the connector panel, through the x-over and onto the speaker fly leads).
Had several Wharfedale cabs (both passive and active) go across my workbench and 99% have had faults with dodgy soldering.

It could also be a stuck or deformed voice coil rubbing.
If You can disassemble the compression driver check the voice coil.
