One of my PSB Alpha's is sounding muffled for some unknown reason. The problem is definately in the speaker itself, as I tried everything else, and switched the speaker to the other channel.

One speaker produces clear, crisp ringing highs, but the other sounds muffled and muddy. I've tried phasing, too.

You've blown out the tweeter. How loud where you playing before you noticed this "problem"?

About average volume for me, which is only ever about 50 - 75% up my volume dial. My HK is only rated at 80w, and the PSB's are supposed to handle 90 I think.

The HK is 8ohm rated and the PSB's nominal impedance is 6. Is that a possible problem? Future Shop said that the HK 3380 is 6 ohm capable.

They will tell you what they can to make them look good, Depending on the Model and how old it is but if your HK recevier Is 8 Ohm min Capabilitie and you put in something with a 6 Ohm Capabilitie then yes that would be grounds for the Tweeter to Blow because the Reciver things its pushing 8 Ohm in to an 8 Ohm Speaker but its not and over time its gets to be to much and something has to give

Hope this helps, Any other Questions Email me Rickypearson@shaw.ca
