However if you go away fro a week or so and leave the heating on tick
over then do expect them to fizz a bit whilst they dry out!.....

Jim LeSurf is a ESL user be interesting to hear from him if he's had
any problems up the in the frozen North!..

Not that I have noticed. The 988's haven't done this recently that I have
noticed. However one of my 63's has made faint' tick' noises on and off for
a few years. I discussed this with quad and the general conclusion was that
there was no need to worry about it. Such low level effects tend to come
and go. Provided they are so faint that to hear them you have to put your
ear near the speaker when their is no music then they should not be a
concern.

If the 'fizz' is loud and persistent, then check with quad. It may be a
sign of a serious problem, but it may well be something that is harmless
and might fade in due course.

Sometimes I have found that playing music for a while clears the problem,
but leaving the speakers unused for days may allow it to return. The
moral is to listen to music whenever possible. :-

BTW I assumed it was me you were referring to, but only because the name
you used was so close to mine. :-)

Slainte,

Jim
