Jupiter Audio speakers, dangerous?
I've heard that Jupiter Audio speakers have been known to catch fire, and
some people may have died. Does anyone know how frequent this is, and how many people were injured? |

Early this year I was approached by a lawyer who wanted me to be the "outside
expert" in a case involving a speaker in a warehouse that appeared to have caught fire and caused extensive damage. A speaker cannot, in and of itself, "catch fire." It would have to be overdriven for an extended period of time, such that the voicecoil overheated and set something nearby on fire. This is _almost_ impossible. For a particular brand of speaker to consistently ignite, it would have to be badly designed (eg, use a flammable former for the voice coil), and be owned by idiots who consistently overdrove it. |

I think he was agreeing with the poster as something that
is not quite an impossibility makes it a definite probability. For Arny to agree with me on _anything_ is a near-impossibility. This is not to be confused with the infinite improbability drive which, of course, is well understood. (:) That is not quite true. It is incompletely understood to the extent of 1/n, as n approaches infinity. |

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC), Philips Consumer Electronics Company, of Atlanta, GA, is recalling 25,500 Philips Magnavox home audio theatre systems for free repair. The system's speaker voice coil can overheat and lead to a speaker fire, presenting a fire hazard to consumers. Philips has received four reports of speaker fires, with one resulting in scorched carpeting. No injuries have been reported. The magnificent Magnavox! The fires are probably the result of the following factors... Flammable voice-coil formers (and/or cones)... Used in drivers with insufficient heat-sinking... Operated by listeners who turn the volume All The Way Up and leave it there for extended periods. I wish I had the money to buy one of these things and "test it to destruction." Whoo-ee! |

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC), Philips Consumer Electronics Company, of Atlanta, GA, is recalling 25,500 Philips Magnavox home audio theatre systems for free repair. The system's speaker voice coil can overheat and lead to a speaker fire, presenting a fire hazard to consumers. Philips has received four reports of speaker fires, with one resulting in scorched carpeting. No injuries have been reported. The magnificent Magnavox! The fires are probably the result of the following factors... Flammable voice-coil formers (and/or cones)... Used in drivers with insufficient heat-sinking... Operated by listeners who turn the volume All The Way Up and leave it there for extended periods. I wish I had the money to buy one of these things and "test it to destruction." Whoo-ee! |

This is _almost_ impossible. For a particular brand of speaker to consistently ignite, it would have to be badly designed (eg, use a flammable former for the voice coil), and be owned by idiots who consistently overdrove it. *Nothing* is "_almost_ impossible" for Gregory Singh. Particularly true, given the flammability of spray glue on loosely packed fiber! You never know though. There may be a class of purchaser out there that would love to have their speakers catch on fire, ala Hendrix or Jerry Lee Lewis. "Smooooooooke on the speakers" |
