Hi there
I'm in my mid 70's and have a Quad 405/34 combination purchased in 1985. I originally had B & W DM3 loudspeakers but they were over-driven by an enthusiastic relative when I was away and they were totally destroyed.
I replaced the DM3s with B & W DM1800s in 1989 and took a lot more care of them. They were used occasionally and driven quite conservatively. About a couple of years ago one of the speakers fell silent and I replaced the pair with more DM3s which I inherited.
I would like to get the DM1800s running again and wonder whether anyone has had a similar experience of one going completely quiet and can offer suggestions. I know that there is overload protection incorporated in the DM1800 and wonder how you go about manually resetting it.
I found this site by Googling a similar my problem and Head-Fi came up.
Although I don't play music very loud - i am prone to boosting the base and treble which may lead to current transients that the loudspeakers are uncomfortable with.
That's all I can think of at the moment. Any suggestions gratefully received.
