Speaker "pop"
Mike Brown - when I use my CS800 to drive two SP2s, the capacitor discharge (I think) causes the speakers to pop when powering down. I don't get this when driving the speakers with a smaller (not PV) power amp. Do I have a problem - and is this pop doing damage to my speakers? (It's not too loud, but definitely causes some extreme coil travel).

Hello Gil,
On an older CS800, there is two 4K resistors on the power supply board that can open which could contribute to the "pop" that you hear. Also, the fan will not switch to high speed. Have a qualified Peavey service center repair your amp for you. Here is a link to the Peavey Dealer/Service Center locator in your area;

Hope that this helps.
