Just got a set of Altec 641's and they are amazing.. I highly recommend these speakers to anyone looking for top quality sound from their computer.
The problem I am having is I am getting alot of radio feedback from the rear speakers. I have tried almost everything I can think of. I have tried ferritt clips, plugging the speakers into different outlets, moving the speakers etc... I am out of ideas. If anyone has any suggestions I would appricite hearing them.
Thanks in advance
chris

Do you have a microphone on that could be causing it?

I do have a microphone, but the sound comming out of the rear speakers is a local radio station. I think it is PBS in AM, but I am not sure... I do have a RFI/EMI filter in my surge protector which is helping, but not a huge amount.
Would thicker shielded speaker wire help? The speaker wire for the rear speakers is thin, and not replacable... I think I can take them apart though and re-wire them myself. Is it worth it? Or any other Ideas are greatly appriciated.
Thanks Again
Chris
