I have owned Beolab 3's for a few years and sadly they have developed a problem. Every once in a while I hear a loud tick which is quite disturbing... Any ideas?

Beolab 3 problem

What are they connected to - and are you using Mk2 or Mk3 cables?

Oops I forgot to mention. They are connected to a Beomaster 7000 and I use Mk3 cables.
Anyone?
I wish I could help!
Perhaps a static discharge? 😕

Since Lee mentioned cables, maybe you should try a MK2 set and see if it changes any.

You know what, it might just be a static discharge... Is this harmful to the speakers and how can I solve this? AFAIK MK3 cables are the one to use instead of MK2...
Mk3 is correct, but to resolve buzzing -not "ticks."What is the frequency of the ticks, or are they just random, sometimes not occurring at all?
Could it be a mobile phone, cordless phone, garage door opener, microwave oven, wireless lan bridge/repeater, telephone repeater etc. , just something you added/replaced/moved lately....?
