I bought a pair of Beolab 1's from a pawn shop. They sound great and I think they are a major improvement over my BL8000s.
They work great except for 2 things: The LED does not work on one of the speakers, and this same speaker clicks (like it's turning on and off) once in a while when the source is turned off. I knew about the LED problem before I bought, and considered this a small issue in light of the favorable price I paid. However, the turning on/off (I'm guessing since the LED that would confirm this does not work) 2 or 3 times in rapid succession every 10 minutes or so bothers me.
Before I turn it over to a service shop, does anybody have any ideas what might be causing this, if there are potentially any simple fixes (like a new cable - I'll probably try this anyway - although the same cable worked fine for 10 years with my BL8000s) or whether the non-working LED could be related.
Finally, from looking at the service manual, it doesn't look like the electronics within the lab are very modular... meaning, this might be a very expensive repair if they have to replace all the guts just because of this one small problem. Am I mis-reading the service manual?
Thanks in advance,
Stan
