OP, isolate the problem. Try different speakers on the amp. Is the hiss still there? If so, try a different amp on the B&W’s... if you don’t have any other equipment to utilize, borrow some from the dealer where you purchase the gear. If you cant do that, move the amp and speakers to a different electrical outlet. Only plug in a source. Still hearing the hiss? Quite a few systems have that hiss. Usually it gets louder though as you increase the volume knob, even with no music playing. Some metal domes that are very detailed and revealing will play that hiss noise louder than some silk domes. That hiss comes from the amp though, not the speakers. Different speakers however may accentuate the hiss more simply because it is s brighter, more detailed speaker. Im sure someone whose more knowledgeable will chime in and correct me or add to. I’ve looked at that hiss as part of how low your noise floor is, ie how black the background is. When there is no hiss and a system can retrieve micro detail really well, you have a very dark canvas from which the music comes from, if that makes sense... |
He has "it doesn’t go up or down with volume" that means it’s the poweramp section of the Rotel that is noisy on both channels, needs to be looked at, tweeters are fine. With these figure it should be quiet S/N RATIO (IHF "A" Weighted) Line Level Inputs: 103dB Digital Inputs: 102dB Cheers George |
Thank you everyone for your responses, I will try out some of the suggestions. Also to clarify, it is difficult to tell if I can hear it or not from where I sit (9 feet away from speakers) it is mostly just when I put my ear close to the tweeter. It probably does not have a significant impact on the sound, I just want to address this if there is a defect in my system. Thanks! |
