Hello people

 I am new to this forum, and i would like get the opinion of you guys perhaps you can advise me of what to do, recently i purchased a brand new, Roksan Caspian pre amp and 2x monoblocks, together with monitor audio RS6, the system has never functioned peoperly despite all the great reviews and awards in the audio magazines, shortly after i purchased the system i noticed that monoblocks keeps on tripping meaning it goes to protection mode, it won't work again untill the power is swtiched off and then back on. untill one of the amps started producing a very audiable noise, anyways after so many attempts and phone calls both to Roksan Audio and the "authorized distributer" they decided that the mono amp is defective and they will replace the pcb's in both monoblocks.

It took about 6 weeks to replace the pcb's but when i got them back they were still tripping i.e going to protection mode, so I contacted the distributer right away and he said not to worry it could be a bad CD, try another cd and if the problem persist, swap the amps and see what happens? so i listened to his advice and the problem stayed when i played another CD and even when i swapped the amps.

The next day i sat down and played the 1812 overture and all of a sudden i smell something burning, so i jumped and turned everything off. I thought the amps are gone again, but the smell was coming of the speaker, after a while i turned it on and the whole thing sounded different but for sure there is no terebel in the affected speaker.

At this moment I am not sure what is going on, I would like to invite those who are interested or those who are knowledgable to participate and give me some advise of what to do

 

I look forward to your participation.
