I listen to only classical and jazz, and any acoustic music, but at realistic listening volumes. I think that it’s a few vinyl records that I play that have a low rumble that causes the amplifier board of the subwoofers to detonate. They are the Martin Logan Balanced Force 212 subwoofers, which have 2 12 inch woofers (drivers); RCA impedance is 10,000 ohms.
Board repair for subwoofer
I have a 10 year old Martin Logan subwoofer which has had a chip or capacitor on a circuit board cease to function a few of times. It seems that the amplifier chip overheats, and just pops. It has done this three times despite having the sub sonic filter on my pre amplifier. I don’t want buy another entire replacement panel from Martin Logan, with the entire set of wires, connectors, circuit boards. Does anyone know of a diagnosis and repair shop for a circuit board for audio electronics in the US? (I live in central Florida.)
