hello everyone i am in a lucky position as a relative left me all his
gear(before he departed for other shores) amplifiers with valves in

huge black knobs and separate power,scott 299, quad 2,quad33/303
(which i am using at the moment). although i have been mostly into my
ipod and its plugin amplifier, i can now hear a huge difference with
the records/cds he also left. he has used for years a pr of monitor
audio 352s and one of them has recently developed a rasping sound,

I'm surprised nobody has suggested turning it upside down in case
suspension sag
over the years has let the voice coil start scraping the magnet.
Though if the woofer has a PVC surround, it is probably hopelessly
deformed by now.
