B&W 802 S3 losing snare drum snap


without changing anything to my system, my speakers have lost their mid range snap. very noticable on snare drum fequency. everything else is crisp. fearing loss of hearing, i invited a couple a friends over that know my systems sound, and they noticed it too. has anyone else cured this problem. i isolated all componets and cables. no help.

I haven't had any changes in the listening room. I'm a rock-n-roll guy so I have Adcom 565's (and I bought tried a different pair), Audioquest Cheetah cables, and Pioneer Elite DV-37. I know its old and non my equipment is great, but it really use to recreate drums well. I tried a friends preamp and cables-no help. I tried a different power source, inspected my systems for loose connections and etc. My buddy is going to bring over his cd player to try, but I'm starting to wonder is if could be my crossovers, even though both speakers sound muffeled only in the snare drum freqency.
Wil,

I have owned some adcom amps before. You may want to pop the cover and check the fuses on the outputs. There should be some fuses on each of the ouput transistor boards. Use a meter and check for continuity across the fuse. As best as I can remember these fuses blow if you really crank your system and can result in the symptoms you describe.

Hope this helps,

Johnny
