Chirping?

[jhoon]

Hello. During certain movies, my left surround speaker makes this "chirping" noise. I first noticed it during the last scene in Boondock Saints, where the saints are in the courtroom. All of the wires are correctly inserted, and everything is properly installed. I use monster cables, and a Pioneer VSX-3411 reciever. The speakers are "Digital Audio" speakers, which I assume are a generic brand. The set came with two tower speakers, one center, and two rear (which look like bookshelf speakers). On the back of the towers, it says "30-300 watts, 4-8 ohms, 90 db," while the other three speakers say "10-200 watts, 4-8 ohms, 90 db." So, do you guys know what is the reason for the chirping, and were these speakers a good deal (my friend bought them for $1000 from another "friend")? Thank you for your time.

No.



As far as the chirping goes, switch the left and right surround, and see if the problem is with the speaker or further up the line (receiver, dvd player, etc.).
