Truth Monitors not working

I've had them for probably nearing 2 years. For a while they've been crackling a bit and every now and then one of the woofers will drop out. However now they seem to just turn off completely after a few minutes of use, they work fine then just turn off.
Anyone had this problem before with these monitors?
And also any recommendations on new ones that are a bit better (mostly for production)? |

If they work fine then all of sudden they just turn off then there's a problem with the amp.
It could be overheating or it could just be a loose connection.
Sounds dodgy either way. |

| are these monitors known to only last a couple of years? I havent exactly run them into the ground....they have had a reasonable amount of use but ive not had them on everyday by no means. if the woofer drops out i can push the volume up quite high and the woofer comes back but once they eventually turn off thats it...doesnt come back on unless i turn them off at the switch and back on again. |

| I've had my behringers for about 5 years and sold them a couple of months ago. They where still fine. Most of them do I think. Haven't read much bad things about them. |

| Sounds like a loose wire somewhere. Does this happen to both speakers or only one? |

| both.....sometimes i get about 30 mins of use before they turn off...other times like 5 minutes....happens both when i use them for production and also with djing |

Do you have the auto-turn off function turned on on the back? (if you do, turn if OFF)
I had this problem when I had that on in the beginning. It doesn't really work too well. |

That would have been my guess too. |

It's been a while but I beleive they have small internal glass fuses on the amp PCB. If it's a faulty slow burn fuse, this could cause the problem as well. |

| hmmm maybe i should get them looked at....i wouldnt be confident changing fuses.....also i dont think there is an auto turn off function on the back....only power mode which i leave ON because if i move it to OFF my speakers dont turn on at all |

Which model do you have?
I thought B2031A, but if you don't have standby mode you have a different model. Those kinds of details make it easier to help ;), so which model do you have?
And yes, I think you would probably want to have them checked :( |
