Trouble with my Rel Storm III

My newly acquired Storm III stopped working yesterday (2 weeks after buying it here on audiogon)When I turn the power switch from the off position to the on position, I get a gong sound...then nothing. I have tried it in all the other high level settings...so it is probably not a switch. I am trying to figure out if it is the amp, crossover or driver. Anyone have a similar experiance?

Just for fun - try the fuse first.

It does get power...the fuse is good. I wish it was that simple!

Check all the connection from the amp if you have hooked up +/- to left speaker output and + to right speaker output.
My Strata III on/off switch is giving me problem after 3 yrs of use, I have to wiggle the switch few times to get it going.

I've never had a problem with my Storm III. From what you wrote, I assume it was working fine before it failed. It may help folks help you if you describe how do you have it connected and the other associated gear you're using it with. Have you tried it with other gear? Same result? How about a different connection (eg low level vs high?). How about the cable? Have you checked it for continuity?

I had one of these and mine did the same thing... it was the driver in my case and had to be replaced. Try moving it around if possible while it is powered on to see if you get that gong sound. Mine did that as well so I had it repaired then sold it.
