Goliath turned into 40lb paperweight that glows... :(

my brand new xxv-02A blew the front left channel after about 1/2 a second of play...

if it's just a power supply, you could probably get it fixed locally cheaper than sending it back and forth

said xxv-02A only cost about $100 including bench, parts, and labor for the blown channel

i don't think anything too major would have happened after that short time, probably juts a loose connection that shorted to something

good luck, man

 
Wow, I'm sorry that you are going through this. Yours burnt up in exactly the same spot mine burnt up. I was sitting in a parking lot waiting to demo my system for someone and the volume was turned all the way down. All of a sudden I hear a popping noise like a positive and negative battery wire were touching one another and then the car filled with smoke. The Goliath does not like input signal voltage and will fry quickly. I hope you can get something out of maxxsonics, I got very lucky that the guy I bought mine from put in a good word to John for me. If you end up getting a replacement from maxxsonics, make sure the input signal coming in is not any higher than about 4 volts or you'll puff the magic dragon again.
