I'd appreciate any thoughts on this problem.
I had been using my JBL HLS Center with a Sony STR-DE835 (moan) for about a year (along with JBL NS8 mains). During transient volume increases (usually, high-pitched vocals, like a scream) I'd notice audible distortion in the center channel.
I assumed it was the Sony.
Recently replaced the receiver with an H/K 320 (what a difference). However, I still notice, although not as pronounced as before, audible distortion in the center (during 5.1 playback or DPLII/Logic7 playback of television broadcasts). It's nothing like previous, but it's there and it's annyoing.
Do I need a new center? I'm going to pick up the S-center just to try it, but I (unlike many others) like the HLS Center and, if there's a simple fix, I'd like to hear it.
BTW, the S38s are set as Large (just like they were with the Sony) and the center is set as Small (just as before), if that helps. And, I'm not playing anywhere near reference levels.
Thanks,
AM
