Default Vicoustic panels added
The room sounds so much better after adding them to the bare wall. Pinpoint imaging and improved vocals!

Swapped out noisy amp today. Three Progression monoblock amps for a quick minute. Thank you Dan D’Agostino and crew. Issues resolved with the exchange.

What? Did you experience a problem and they sent you a replacement, making it right?

Default To make a long story short.
Yes that is what happened.

That is good to hear, Vern. Now You could immerse in the music totally, without having some buzzing sounds disturbing You.
Did Dan D’Agostino crew commented the problem with Your amp top plate vibration? Did they recognized the production problem with top plate possible vibration of all Progression amps, or the problem was specific to Your case?

Andrew, actually a totally separate issue. The buzzing wasn’t mechanical in nature. One amp was quiet the other wasn’t. I think I know where the problem was. They are focused on other priorities right now. It isn’t a production problem at all.

That is good to hear. Because after reading Your posts in this thread I started precisely listening to my pair of Progression mono-blocks. But nothing like Your problem I did find in my pair. The good is that You completely solve Your problem.

I know you won’t hear anything. The amp I initially had is gone and I am now extremely happy as both amps are equally quiet!
