Hi guys, be aware that these suffer from the "bad caps" situation if they're old stock. I had a pair I bought years ago and they sat in the box for years before I actually hooked them up. When I did, POOF, smoke and very odd sound came out of them. Opened them up, and blown caps. Bought new caps, installed them and bingo bango, good as new!

Won't ship to Canada due to export regulations and/or manufacturers restrictions.

I have the AV30s for a few years as well and have the same problem. What kind of capacitors did you get for them? Speakers are pretty good for the price but as said, buyer beware.

Ended up getting them at DigiKey because they've served me well in the past and have flat $8 shipping which is SUPER fast.
The big caps were $4.24ea, The little caps were 1.08ea. You need two caps of each size. Grand total including Tax was $20.02.

Here are the part numbers and details:
Big Cap:
EEU-HD1V472
CAP ALUM 4700UF 35V 20% RADIAL

Little Cap:
EU-HD1E221
CAP ALUM 220UF 25V 20% RADIAL

Good luck!

Wow I've been using a set of these I got from NCIX about 3 years ago regularly blasting loud music and they're still going strong. Must've been a bad batch

Got mine from Woot, August 2011. Hooked 'em up for the first time about 2 months ago when they went poof. Work great now though. There was smoke - actual smoke - that came out the bass port of the speaker. Pretty spectacular really. :D
