#77579 - 08/12/06 11:38 AM Whistle from center speaker after turn off?
jmschnur Gunslinger Registered: 07/28/06 Posts: 29 Loc: VA	My Martin Logan Center Speaker makes a high pitch sound (very low level) about 2-3 minutes after my system is turned off. It last for 5-10 seconds. I assume this is caused by the power being disspated as the 7500 amp I have turns off ( capacitor) discharge. This occurs when the Cinema i speaker is attached to any of the 5 output channels. I do not hear this from any other speaker in the system (ML Vantages, NHT rear surrounds). All speakers sound fine when operating. Is this normal and what is causing it? Joel

I think that it actually sounds pretty cool, but I think that it is normal. _________________________ Fronts: Paradigm Studio 100 v.4 Surrounds: Polk TC615i Center: Paradigm CC-590 Sub: SVS PB-12Plus/2 Amplifier: Outlaw 7500 Receiver: Integra DTC 9.8 DVD/CD: Sony DVP-CX995V HDTV: Sony KP-51HW40 RC: Philips TSU-6000

Some speakers are more sensitive to reproducing this sound than others. it is entirely harmless and will not impact your speakers performance. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks and regards, Scott"
