Hi
I have a Classe CAP-100 ,Cambridge Audio CD4 and Totem Model 1 Single. I'm new in the audio world. My question is Totem 1 spec. : impedance 4 ohm. and power 30-100W and CAP 100 spec. power 150W @ 4 ohm can work well together or not.
Second, After I turn on the CAP-100, there is some sound that come out from the tweeters and woofers a little bit. Even I play my CD player, this sound still come out. I heard it when I listen to the speakers very closely. Is this situation normal? It sound like small " fuuuuuuu......u" or electrical sound.
The more information about sound that come out from Left and right speakers is that it sounds as the air comes out from the tweeters. This always happen after I turn on the amp. Also, it does not stop even I play the CD player. My interconnect is Silver Audio Bullet 4.0 and speaker cables is DHlab T-14. The sond from tweeters is like the air that come out from a hole. And the sound from Woofers is like some electrical part is working inside the speakers.
Third, one speaker did not have a sound came out during I were playing the the CD this evening. I checked all cable connections and they are o.k. So I turned off all component and tuned them on again. This time they worked well. What does it cause the speakers have no sound during playing the CD. My opinion is that it might be something wrong in my amp. or speakers.
I'm looking forward for your help.
Thank you in advance,
Tom
Tom,
How close to the speakers are you when you hear the "rushing" sound??
It may be normal for your Classe CAP-100 to have a little noise if you put your ear close to the spaker but if you clearly hear the noise from your seated position 3 or 4 meters back from them, something is seriously wrong! The mechanical noise in the woofer sounds like you're describing AC ground hum, although from your description, it's hard for me to be sure.
The intermittent right channel is disturbing, to say the least. It could be from your cd player or your amp. If you have another source, like an FM tuner, if the problem surfaces again and you can switch sources during the problem, you'ld be able to tell if it's the amp or cd player.
In answer to your first question about the speaker / amp ratings..........No Problem there.
Something is funky with your setup. Check all your connections again and look for correct polarity of AC on your amp and cd player and for shorts on the speaker connection to the right speaker, it could be difficult to see, possibly. Check them carefully!
