[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 23299, member: 46"] Up in smoke! Well, I hate to bring bad news, but my initially very positive opinion of these is somewhat soured after today's experience. Fired one up and it started immediately going into protect, with no input connected yet. Then sparks and smoke from the amp module and it tripped the breaker. It is dead. Nice. There were no power issues and the other box on the same circuit was fine. This is from a box that is not heavily used and never abused, travels with care etc. I'm glad I have other options soI'm not relying on these with no backup. It's really a shame, they are excellent sounding boxes, but I'm always going to have "trust issues" with these going forward, which sucks. [/QUOTE]
