Acouple of nights ago, wjhilst watching TV, there was a horrible 'pop' from one of the speakers. At the time, I thought nothing of it, as everything was still working.
But... when I next came to use my Hi-Fi, as opposed to my AV setup, it transpired that it must have been this that had made the noise, as the right-channel was no more!
Decided to take the lid off the amp (a trusty Arcam Alpha 3) this evening, and found a blown speaker fuse. Luckily, those excellent Arcam people had clipped a spare fuse to the PCB inside, so I'm back up and running. A pack of 10 spares is less than a pound at Maplin by the way!
I'm still perplexed as to why this should have happened. Any ideas?
