I have my Era 100s set-up as a pair left and right with a Hisense tv. I get sound just fine and no crackling, but I have to turn them up to 75-80 (out of 100) for regular viewing/listening. That seems way too high, when the stock tv speakers I can barely turn up to 25. I have the volume limit off as well. Why are they so low?
And yes, I physically go to the slider and make sure they are all the way up on the speakers themselves.
