Yamaha MSR100 speaker failing - 09/20/06 05:43 AM
I have two Yamaha MSR100s. They are small molded powered speakers like the JBL Eon10 G2. They are the same weight, smaller, less powerful, and less expensive. I should have gone with the JBLs.
I'm starting year three with these. Last year, one speaker failed. I brought it in, and it the tech found an obvious wire that had to be resoldered.
Several months ago, the same speaker went off and on several times during my performance. I brought it in, and the tech couldn't fine a problem. Gave it back to me for free.
It failed a little more often, and I brought it in again. He still couldn't find a problem after running all kinds of tests.
I had to use this bugger until it started failing repeatedly. I brought it in for the third time, and the tech finally heard the problem. After many hours, he found a loose solder on a crossover wire. All covered under warranty.
A few days later, I hear some harsh distortion coming from the speaker. I bring it in, and after a week, the tech tells me that the reason for the distortion was that my grill was bent in. I paid him $20 this time. The same day towards the end of a performance, the speaker starts letting out some real harsh distortion.
I called the tech, and he said that he had done all kinds of tests on it, and didn't find anything wrong with the speaker.
I'm ready to sell this thing for parts. What should I do?
