hello all...

this may not be the best place for this question, but i'm 90% sure yall will have the answer.

I currently play my guitar through a Mesa Boogie 5:25 Express 10" combo + 10" extension cab.

Recently the speaker on the combo has been crackling and really hurting the sound of my guitar. The extension cab is not crackling.

Any advice as to what might be happening? How do I fix this....?

I scrolled and saw the bottom of the main page:

"12010 Registered User(s).

Welcome to our newest member, BADSBRD

There are no birthdays today."

12,010 users and nobody was born on November 16!

That's pretty amazing.

big deal. ZZZZZZZZZZ

I was considering the Dynaudio X12's but was told in another thread that they're at the opposite end of the sonic spectrum from my Grado's (which I assume means rather cool).

I definitely like warm; I returned the Grado SR325i's because they weren't warm enough.

Using a Marantz PM5004, Marantz CD5004, and Pro-Ject Debut III, and the Grado RS2i's.

I'm not too set in stone on budget, maybe around $800-1200.

... for leading your Listening column with the excellent overview of the Arkell Museum. I find music and art inspire the same immdeiate/visceral reactions (sweeping emotions, love it or hate it, etc.), and are more intertwined than many of us imagine.

The same applies elsewhere in life. I worked as a freelance illustrator for ad agencies, before taking a 180 degree turn into the computer software field, and found it to be equally creative and illuminating.

Keep up the great work.
