My SVS has developed a fault. :(


Last night I turned on War of the Worlds on satellite (DD soundtrack) and was looking forward to re-living the experience of the film having watched it on DVD when it was first released.

Well, after the first real bit of sub action (probably @ -6db) I thought that my large display cabinet with glass doors and a few ornaments was rattling more than usual to the tune of my SVS PB12-ISD. So I went closer to the cabinet to find that it was not the cabinet. Shock horror when I found that the rattling sound was emanating from my sub!

Even using the test tones on the Denon, the sub rattles as if it has a bag of spanners in it. I turned the unit upside down just in case something had dropped onto the back of the driver, but it still rattled merrily.

As there is a 3 year warranty there shouldn't be an issue, but I am now more concerned that I won't get it fixed in time from the guys in the UK for the Christmas holidays !

Would anyone like to hazard a guess as to the likely fault? Does it sound like one of the driver cage/basket "arms" has broken? (Not sure of the correct name for the cast iron thingy which supports the driver)

Woe, woe and thrice woe!
