It does sound like your speakers. But it could be the output transistor are going bad. As you increase the volume causing more current to go thru them it make a clipping sound. If you have a different set of speaker try and see if the popping is replicated. If not have some check your receiver out.

SOURCE: guitar amp make large crescendo-like noise, loud pop at end.

Same loudness, no speaker? This sounds (no pun intended) like a filter capacitor shorting out. Open it up and VERY CAUTIOUSLY look for what is making the noise. Filter capacitors can eject hot stuff. Very dangerous.

SOURCE: amplifier will only put out "faint" music, etc, even when the volume is turned all the way up

This may sound silly, but please check to be sure that the tape monitor switch in not engaged. Update this if that is not the problem.

SOURCE: I use an azur intregrated amp 540A and a Azur Pre

I've never repaired one of these but I have an amp at home that makes a intermittent static "popping" noise that i'm going to put down to a dirty volume pot (control) that needs cleaning. I will also have to change some of the electro capacitors that have dried up inside which cause "shot noise". With the right lubricant (electrical contact cleaner, nothing else) you could take to lid off and spray a small 1 second blast into the hole of the pot and any other balance or tone control yourself but I would take it to the electronics repairer to get the capacitors checked over.
My theory only
Good Luck!

SOURCE: I have a Marantz 2270

This kind of problem is logical, if you have the "loudness" control enabled. Well, let me explain the situation. The loudness control is a function that boosts the lower and higher frequencies (the bass and treble) in low volume settings. This is useful because at low volume settings our ears are not so sensible at these frequencies, so the result is nice to hear. This boost (the loudness) stops automatically (at most amplifiers) at volume settings just above the middle of the volume control (to be more specific near the 1 hour setting of the volume knob), that's the point that you get this cracking sound. In case the audio source has plenty of bass frequencies the result is what you hear.
I suggest you to lower the bass boost potentiometer or disable the loudness control when you hear music at these volume levels. A good idea also is to disable the loudness control permanently and boost the bass and treble from the knobs as you wish. This will give you a sound near the original one although at the beginning you will feel the absence of bass (this is because the sound you were listening before has more bass).

In case of a problem or clarification or further details needed, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer.
If you are satisfied, accept my solution.

Thanks and regards

SOURCE: When i am turning the power on at. channel 1 for a

Pictures would help a lot (of the circuit board)
You're lucky, you have a whole channel for reference!
This means we can troubleshoot by metering points at channel A and cross referencing them with what's happening on channel B (You'll need a multimeter and SOME skill, as well as a soldering iron, solder, desoldering braid and/or a desoldering pump)

When we find something that's way out of spec, we know we've found the issue, or at least something connected to the issue.
If you have an oscilloscope, we can trace the signal to the point that it stops.
If not, as I said, metering mirrored points should lead to the issue.

My Kenwood KA-128 wad playing One Night and just tienes off. When I turned it back on, the only light that came on was a red doyt on the volume control knob.

Make sure you have +12 volts on both the red and yellow wires as well as a solid ground. If that is the case then disconnect power and wait about 5 ninutes...this will cause a hard reset. If it still doesn't turn on try disconnecting all speakers...if it still won't turn on the unit is defective...if it does then reconnect each speaker one at a time ubtil it shuts off...then you know you have either a bad speaker or a wire issue with that speaker

Kenwood KA-76 amp. Left channel distorts and unit overheats then shuts down when volume is turned up. Headphones are not affected.

what happens if you reconnect left and right speakers? Are these problems of the unit or of the speakers/wires?

How to connect a kenwood ka- 9100 to a pioneer vsx-d608

You don't say, what role the Kenwood is supposed to play but I'll assume you want to slave the Kenwood (and its speakers) to the Pioneer.

The VSX-D608 doesn't have multi-channel pre-outs so you wouldn't have local control of the volume at the Pioneer.

http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages/showimage.aspx?gid=108365&ppid=1122&image=404270323&images=404269872,404269931,404269984,404270049,404270137,404270323&formats=0,0,0,0,0,0&format=0

The KA could be a subwoofer amp as the Pioneer has a pre-out for that.

Outs to Ins. "Power In" on the KA would be for an external volume-controlled source. Otherwise, use one of its non-Phono inputs.

sounds like you need to turn up your gain and bass. while amp is on and your favourite music playing, turn up the diles on your amp until you get the sound you want one by one.
