ok Mark .tomorrow i will do everything you have suggested above .The first time i noticed this was one evening .I was listening to radio 4 [not music someone was talking] .At first i thought the speaker is rubbing somewhere .I didnt try MW or LW just FM .As i turned the volume down even further the rubbing sound or distortion got worse .We are now at the point where i have to have my ear up against the radio to hear anything.Getting back to when i used the Hunters amp the sound was much better .Lots more treble and crystal clear sound overall just a vast improvement.As i said earlier i will test the speaker again before i do anything else .I dont want to make things worse so i am treading carefully.
