left speaker crackling noise

[kvandhi]

My left speaker is having crackling sound for last couple of days. I have cleaned the contact points of banana plugs and even checked amp connection.
Still the crackling sound is there. How to fix. Any work arounds please share.

So you've already checked & cleaned the connection points of all the equipments.
Swap cables for spare ones.
If the issue persists, check inside the speakers for loose wiring or damaged components. Maybe a worn out solder.
(I just googled and tried to find the reason)

Problem is in the amp. I had a similar problem in the past. I do not remember the name of the part that was changed. It is not a big problem but I am not sure the repair cost as Imported audio component service center charges are exorbitant. If I remember the name of the part that was changed in my amp I will write it down in some further comment.

Most probably it is capacitors that can be faulty, maybe on the amp board that drives the left channel. I am not a technical person, faced same problem few years back with a NAD integrated amp.

Did you swap speaker cables at speaker side? If still sound coming from left side then speaker issue or coming from right side then amp side issue. Check and see, you can have idea which is the issue.
