Hey everyone!

This is my first time on a music forum.

I received my new Adam A5 studio monitors two days ago. And immediately I started playing different kinds of music for hours to test them out.

Then: During the string intro of "Baby I'm a fool" with Melody Gardot I was shocked to hear an annoying crackling noise coming from the speakers, especially when I turned the volume up a bit, though not frighteningly loud.

I have tested different sources, two different sets of cables, switched between the monitors, and plugged them directly to my ipod, but the crackling/hissing prevails.

Without knowing for sure the crackling seems to be triggered by the cello, and inutitively it feels like the speaker driver cannot handle that sound.

I am very dissapointed. I would be really greatfull if someone could give me some advice and maybe if owners of Adam A5 monitors could test the string intro of "Baby I'm a fool", and give me some feedback if they experience the same.

Looking forward to your respons!

Regards Kristoffer
