Hello once again, forum. My speakers, or rather the amp in my speakers, is on its deathbed. They sound as good as new when they're first powered on, but there is progressively more and more distortion the longer they're used, and after about give or six minutes there is virtually no point in trying to listen to them any more. It started out as an infrequent crackle in the left speaker, but this is far from a small crackle. The left speaker is also the one that goes silent first.
Granted, these speakers are quite old. I bought them 7 years ago, and they weren't new then. However, a new pair of the second generation of these is going to set me back around 1100 kroner (140 US dollars, 180 Aus. dollars), and I could think of so much more I'd rather spend that money on. And if nothing else, it'll be a learning experience to have a look at the problem.
I'm currently uploading some videos of how they sound, so stay tuned.
EDIT: c4757p on IRC has suggested I cool components one at a time using cooling spray, so I'll get some compressed air and use the can upside down.
