The is the 2nd time that these Genius SP-HF-1800A speakers needed to be repaired.
4 years after the last repair, two more capacitors failed, causing distortion and-or audio dropouts when the line voltage dipped. The brand of the garbage capacitors was QUNLO, and the two defective values were 4.7uf @ 50V and 100uf @ 25V. Replacing them fixed the problem.
HISTORY: Purchased these speakers new NOV 2013. First repair was needed July 2017 (bad filter capacitor, caused hum). Second repair was four years after that, AUG 2021 (2 bad caps, causing distortion and-or audio dropouts when line voltage dipped).
COMMENT: While it is disappointing that they suffered from low-quality capacitors, this speaker system sounds fantastic and almost EVERYONE who visits my shop comments on how great they sound. They are well-worth repairing.
