Ive just been listening to some music, and turned up the volume to 70 for 10 seconds, which is excessive and very loud but i got the orange light virtually straight away.

Question: They aren't going to do this every time i play them loud are they?

I just replied to this but it vanished!

The orange light indicates thermal overload. You must have driven it hard! If it stays orange a trip to the tech will be needed. Normally, disconnection for a cool down period is sufficient. It's a protection device. Don't overdrive them or get a hearing aid 😁

Hello there

I have the same problem hence why I moved mine from my music room to be for my TV.

They are great sounding speakers but because they are low down I tend to turn them up high and they would go orange so I got board and bought some other speakers.

Great speakers but not capable of really loud music or modern bassy music.

Great they protect themselves though.

I've been through it twice. both times it was treble that has broken down. try to shift the treble between the speakers, easiest way.

How would I do that. The right one has done it twice and has always sounded the dominant speaker if you like.

Thanks everyone(was very loud)

I have been listening to metallica the black album at full volume. No problem. treble could break but it changes easily yourself. Cost 830SEK for a couple of weeks ago.

If my wife sanctioned/suggested or offerred a pair of BL5's the order would be made within seconds - just in case she changed her mind!
