Hearing low level crackling/static in one of my DQ10s

65.124.143.35

Hoping someone might know the cause. It's in the right speaker. It's not very loud and it appears to come from all drivers when I moved my ears over them to try to find the source. It's doing it with the mute switch engaged. I wasn't noticing/hearing any distortion or breakup with music being played but I'm concerned because it is a new phenomena.

My preamp is a ARC SP6 so I can do a stereo channel reverse. The noise DOES not shift to the other speaker when I do this.

My DQ10s were made in the mid-80s. They are mirror imaged with yellow caps. Both speakers had refoamed woofers in late 1998, done by the same shop that sold them to original owner. I've had them for 2 years and they've been flawless up till now.
