Problem with speaker distorting

[madfresh]

What's up everybody?

I've been having this problem for a while. The sound coming out of the right speaker is distorting slightly. The sound is a bit fuzz-like and especially loud when listening for the first time after starting up the amplifier, after that it gets a bit lower. The speakers are connected to the amplifier by speaker wires. I suspect that the problem is coming from the output on the amplifier where the speaker wires for the right speaker have to be attached. Cause I have tried connecting different wires to this output and have tried to connect wires to both speakers and it's still distorting.

Has anyone else ever experienced this problem? And does anyone have any advice on what I could try? Maybe the problem is coming from somewhere else...

Thanks a lot!

On first thought, this seems like a failing capacitor in the audio path in the amplifier. How old is that amp?

It's a couple of years old I guess... I bought it second hand about 1 year ago and it's a quite new model...

Do you know if there's anything I can do if there's a problem with the capacitor?
