How to test your speaker (by 2 users)

posted by rojo on Aug 24, 2006

I have a maddenning problem with my 5.1 home theater system. The deneon 1601 yes its a little old, am goes into auto protect mode occasionally and now its gone into auto protect at all times .
It was connected to KEF Cresta 1s, cresta2, kef centre and PSW100 .
When i took the amp into deneon in the uk, they found no fault and said it could be a speaker problem.
I took the speakers to the KEF dealer and they coudlnt kind anything wrong with the speakers.
I am now aiming to change the amp to a denon 3805 but dont want to risk blowing it if the spakers are to blame.
|Is there any way to test the spaekers at home before i go and buy a new amp?
i an not very techie

If the wire is bear ( no port connections ) then you should be able to try the speakers on most stereo systems. If you have not got the right connections on the back of you stereo then ask a friend if you could try it on there?s. But if the wires have got port connections the only way you can test them is if you can unplug your amp and still have the other speakers on. If your going to get a new amp then why not get some new speakers to go with it.

Units going into auto protect are usally due to open or dead short conditions to keep the system protected from blowing the final amps. based on what you suggested I woould test or change out the cables 1st.
