Audible Hum
I just hooked up a pair of Clayton M70 monoblocks to my Martin Logan Requests. There is now an audible hum coming from the speakers when the volume is off. The amps are located close to the speakers.Is this the problem? I am new at this and would like the groups help. I did not have this problem with my B&K amp which I replaced.
