| KRK Rokit 6 Gen 2 Tweeter issue
So I've read some really unfortunate threads that seem to dab around a similar issue I have, but none really hit the nail on the head.
I have two Rokit 6's Gen 2 I bought back in February. and from the get-go one of them had a tweeter issue, where it would randomly loose the high-end and would only come back if I fiddled with the off/on switch. So I immediately brought that one back as soon as the issue started. Now fast forward about 60 days after the 30-day exchange expires, the second one I didn't replace starts doing it as well.
Eventually the issue became less frequent to basically non-existent.
Then two days ago, while in the mix this god awful buzzing sound comes from my right speaker. It basically sounded like someone sampled a cheesy execution scene from an old movie, electric chair buzz and all, except at +20 dB. Immediately I shut down the monitor and unplugged it, and noticed what smelled like a mild plastic burn odor emanating from the tweeter region.
I just figured at this point the tweeter blew. So I called up Gibson and requested a replacement one be sent out under warranty.
Well today curiosity got the best of me and I decided to toss the other tweeter from the good one on this guy, low and behold the awful buzzing started as soon as I powered on. Immediately powered off and made sure I didn't kill that tweeter as well by putting it back in its original.
I have no idea what's going on with this monitor, any thoughts?
