A100 guy here. Just today when I turned on this A100 I heard kindofah scratching coming outa one speaker!!!!
Wtf. Put on headfones and sure enuf one channel scratching.
Checked this and that ,all normal. Connections.
Now after a few minutes playing it has stopped.
I'm hoping it's not gonna b a problem.
But I read some of their other equipment is having issues.
I'll keep y'all updated.

I would lean towards a capacitor going bad in one channel. Those symptoms match what I've heard in the past, a slight static/poping/scratching sound until the amp warms up.

If it's still under warranty I'd get it fixed.

Only had it maybe year and half.
It never did it before ,
Last nite even when playing music it was there.
I left it in standby over nite
I don't hear it this am.
Used to shut it off, but now I'll try standby mode and c what happens. If it persists I'll have to send it back.
At that point I won't b happy.

Ok so far so good.
On now few hrs. No noise.
Let's hope it was just a glitch? We will c.

Well, that may just be masking the symptom, at some point you should unplug it for a half an hour or so and then start it back up. If you don’t hear the sound your probably good, but if it comes back you should bite the bullet and get it fixed — if it’s still under warranty (though you’ll be out return shipping). It may not get worse, I have an older Airmotive 5 that’s had this symptom for a couple years and hasn’t gotten worse, but if it had been under warranty I’d have gotten it fixed. I may eventually try to fix it myself as I did with a subwoofer that also had this problem.

Thankx for that info.
Hasn't made a sound when in use. But I'm sure it's under warranty. Haven't had it long and has been supurb. So thanks again.
