First off, I just want to say that I really love these monitors. I just got my pair in the mail the other day from Deepwater. Great monitors, but... The tweeter on one of mine is making a crackling noise everytime is plays. When I press down (lightly!) on the foam cover thing, it doesn't crackle anymore, but when I let go, the crackle starts again. I have no idea what to do about this, any ideas?

i'd be pissed off.
i've read a few posts about the Out-of_box problems with these speakers.

Apparently great sounding (if not best in price group)
once your up and running. With the Deepwater "HR friend" deal,
it is BEST in Price Group, from what I read..but also rave reviews.

it may be a good thing, ZZsounds cancelled my "blemish"
Whafs8.2 for $250.....maybe tweeter problem??
i don't have time and money to fhkng spend shipping brand
new speakers about the country...fhk that.
one negative about online.

I just ordered a RNC from Core Sounds...one fhkng knob was bent,
called, they said deal with FMR or send it back for Full Refund..??

don't hold anyone accountable, it's a Quality Control issue...very hit
and miss...maybe one dipshit in the assembly line
cross wiring speakers or scratching the cone! daamnnn

Deepwater seems very cool reading his threads.
he's a gear head...i get,
i personally always like the guys
opinions that have access to it all,
and then share their picks.

i'd be pissed too...good luck,
glad you like the Whafs.everyone seems to.

i just put in my order with Deepwater.
Whafs 8.2A...can't beat the deal.

hope I ain't on HR going "ohfhk! there's a hole poked in my woofer!!"
HAHAHAAAhhaaa

why do you say you "love your speakers" you just got, but they crackle and
you have to put your thumb on it....??
I take it your relieved the speakers showed up and you didn't get stiffed?

1) have you made sure it's not a sound source, swapped speakers L&R?
2) i read a thread it's cheaper just to buy the new tweeter tha ship the
speaker $$..there's a 5yr warranty too.

in the 70's people would put band-aids and tape-sht over their speaker
cones for the same reason..sucks.

Yes! Contact Deepwater or the Manufacturer and find out if there is repair shop in your area.
