Dynaudio BM5A speaker problem (vid #1)

Shows the problems I'm having with this speaker that I've sent for repair no less than 4 times, once while under warranty and 3 times since then.

All the repair shops have happily taken my cash and returned the speaker for the same problem to comeback again - sometimes immediately (like they didn't repair it all) and most recently after a break of about 5-6 months.

I basically got 6 months uninterrupted use out of this speaker before it has become unusable. The pair of speakers cost $1000, so I'm pretty miffed that $500 of that appears to have been wasted. Love the speakers (when they work), but cannot bring myself to spend any more on repair, or give Dynaudio any cash for any more speakers.

Did you try to keep out the Apple sticker? It seems to be the problem, due to no problem with the other one.

im guessing if u take it apart its just a fuse that keeps blowing, try changing the fuse with a bigger one like a 15 for a 30

ive been using my bm5a's since 2006. Just today did I notice part of the surround on one of the woofer had a tear. Maybe its from moving them about 8 times in the last few years. I just used a little silicone on it and it seems to be holding. Other than that I love these monitors and do much accurate mid range (like for snare) than the mackies.

the sound is probably from a mac, if thats the problem....

Dynaudio monitors are great when they work. My BM6's failed after 10 months, due to the cheap capacitors they used (Solen and Bennic). Like everyone else, they use the cheapest parts they can find. The best thing to do, if you want to keep using them, is to gut all the cheap parts and replace them with quality components. Dynaudio's warranty service is worse than useless, so you'll have to do it yourself, or find someone capable.

You may have a problem with DC in your signal, could that be it? Or maybe a problem with your AC power? It sounds pretty unlikely that some company like Dynaudio produces products of poor quality. As far as I know, all their stuff is top notch! Compare to my pair on the video response.

I only get an orange/red light flashing when I play at a very high volume with extreme punchy bass, too loud for my neighbors anyway... so I rarely get to play at that level. Keep in mind these are small spkrs.
