It's been a struggle. It's been at the shop twice in the last 3 months, the last time they had it for an entire month and they said it didn't have the problem once in all their testing. I get it home and with in 5 minutes it's doing the exact same thing it was. And to top it off it is happening even more frequently and being out of commission for longer.
For those that are wondering the problem is that at some point after being turned on (could be 2 minutes, sometimes an hour or two or never) there will be an audible "thump", which you can see push the drivers of the speakers outwards then all audio cuts out completely and you are left with a low but audible hum in the speakers. This is on all inputs, when the audio cuts out the only way I can get audio back is to turn off the receiver and leave it off for hours. Sometimes I'll turn it on and the sound comes back, other times it's still just humming. It sucks as there are only two guys in my area that repair stereo equipment, one who is a scum bag who takes peoples money and doesn't fix shit and the other is one the I brought it to, who is a very nice guy and seems to know his stuff, he just couldn't figure out what's happening with it.
