Hello
I'm looking for some advice on a reoccurring problem I have.
I have had a Denon 3805 for the past 7 years and the Mission E3 package for the last 2 years, along with my 10 year 77DS as 7.1 setup.
Over the last 12 months, I have somehow managed to blow 5 tweeters from my Mission E34's, E3C and E30's.
I have already replaced two of the tweeters in the E34 fronts earlier this year, but have now blown not only the the centre; but also the right E34 for the second time!
Also both tweeters in in left 77DS have gone too.
Other than the chance that I may have gone deaf and I've compensated with extreme volume. I have a number of theories, but I could really do some insight before I waste anymore money.
1. The Denon has gone bad, despite being fully functional it now likes to pop tweeters. Option 1: Replace the Denon.
2. The E3 package from Mission, has rubbish tweeters. They are prone to blowing, or they don't like my amplifier?
3. This time last year, I have fitted a Bye Bye Standby kit, which cuts the powers to all the devices in the room when I hit the switch before I go to bed. This has the effect of powering off the Denon at the wall, rather than through the standby feature.
Question is, are receivers likely to blow tweeters or send funny voltages when the power is cut without warning in such a fashion? Am I stressing both amp and speakers with this power down method? Is the standby option the reccomended way of powering down a receiver, or shouldn't it matter?
Any other ideas on what could blow tweeters? Help would be very much appreciated.
