stephen,
i will switch the speakers later today when i get the chance. btw, they are paradigm monitor 7's.
i suppose it is possible that my kt88's are fizzling. the sound is a scratchy, crackling sound, audible only when very close to and directly in front of the tweeter. standing up in front of it and you can't hear the noise. however, when i first noticed it, it was audible from my listening position. anyway, i bought the 88 amp used back in september and have clocked somewhere in the way of 700 hours. the tubes were said to have low hours since the amp was advertised with a retube. i trust the person i purchased it from. though 700 hours does not seem much even for output tubes, i suspect my psaudio 600 may have some part being played here. i believe i've heard some say the power plants can can excessive wear on tubes, have you heard the same?
thanks for the advice
i'll let you know how tweeter diagnosis goes.
