Marantz PM 550DC amp. Hooked up speakers and left side of speaker system works fine. Right side crackles BADLY and won't come in. What's the simplest cause for this? Oxidization? Thanks

KEVIN ANDERSON Nov 05, 2020

Thank you Dariusz. I will definitely try the easiest solutions first. I'm guessing that it needs repair though because I got it um...at the town dump out of the electronics pile...I just couldn't bare to see a Marantz amp tossed out like that! Pulled a Pioneer tuner out as well but it works great! Go figure! Thanks for the tip!

Also got a BEAUTIFUL pair of PSB Image B6 speakers and matching sub woofer the same day! It never ceases to amaze me what some people toss out! Worth about $800 U.S.

First swap wires on the input and see if same side has a problem. If not then input wires or jacks causing it. If wires swap doesnt do anything then switch speakers with wires. If that doesnt work try to clean speaker connectors but there is a big chance that amplifier need to be repaired

Left speaker not working, system crackles if left side is active, alright when left side shut down.

Get a meter and check the resistance on the speaker. Looks like a speaker may be blown but with the description of the crackle noise from the slide controls you might have a bad pot in the unit or the pot has come loose from the board. This could explain why the speaker blew out

Marantz problems

The speakers are 8ohms. Always try using speakers 6 or 4ohms. For B&W 683 on PM 6004 is too low. You should go for PM 7000 or 8000 series to catchup with 683. Also when you increase the volume please decrease the bass as well.
You need 8ohm 55w to 90w or 4ohm 80w to 110w speakers.

I have a Marantz 2275 receiver hooked to some JBL speakers. I noticed one of the speakers crackling. I swithched the speaker wires around and now the other speaker crackles so I'm guessing it is

Doesn't sound like it's a speaker - more likely a fried chip or transistor causing harmonic distortion.
It's usually more cost effective to replace modern audio components than to fix them.

RIGHT HAND SPEAKER WONT WORK

If you get scratchy sounds while doing so, the potentiometer needs replacing. If not you could check the solder joints for it and see if its loose. You could just resolder it if that's the case.

Samsung AV-R720 - front right speaker crackles

THIS RECEIVER IS JUNK. I had the same problem with my receiver and Samsung gave me a new unit as it was under warranty. 8 months later the replacement which was brand new did the same thing. Samsung tells me it is my problem now. I should have demanded another unit. the best advice I have is not to buy this product. Samsung won't help you when it breaks and it will break. Nobody seems to know how to fix it.......

Marantz Pm-7200 left channel weak compared to the right

hmmm. Let's start by swapping the wires you are using for your speakers. Double check the wire connections first, then take the left and place iton the right and vice versa.
