    Hi i have this amplifier below. Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this im sure its the same with all amps. I left the room with the amp on and i could smell some burning downstairs so i ran back up stairs and the amp was making a sound as if something wasnt grounded. Anyways the amp still works but only plays mid and low frequencies. Its as if theres low pass a filter on it. Does anyone know if it could be something as simple as a fuse or is it screwed? Cheers all help appreciated.

    Sounds like it may have gone into oscilltion and fried your tweeters. Just a guess. Now as simple fuse anyway. As PB says, Dave Smyth.

    Hey guys thanks for the replies. Turns out its a resister for tweeters in my monitors. Burn't out on both of em. What are the chances eh? :) I believe this is the one that needs replacing. Any idea if these are available in Dublin or will they have to be bought online?
