Roughly two-three weeks ago I experienced some problems with the LSi-9 bass-drivers. I was watching a movie when I began hearing the drivers rattle on a heavy bass track.

After this point - they could no longer handle deep stuff at even modest volumes. A few days back I was playing Santana's "Shaman" with the dial not even past the 8 o'clock, almost at conversation level for this amp - and the drivers started to rattle.

Im at a loss boys - looks like I will have to replace the drivers. Any suggestions?

I have heard stories of people driving the LSi's to insane volumes with no issues whatsoever.... I have yet to even push these things to the point of taxing on the ears. I can only figure the 35 wpc (8 ohms) Rotel integrated may not be up to par.

Would appreciate some insight..

Whoaaa.........expensive movie. I'd email Ken S directly. Sounds like blown drivers for sure. The LFE tracks in some movies are just brutal on speakers - another reason I run mine on small - they just can't take it sometimes.
