We have four RPG2 Rokit 5 speakers that are now having some kind of low humming sound. We think it may be an internal amplifier issue but aren't sure. I have come across something about a black goo that corrodes internally after awhile due to the adhesive that is used.

 

They are 10 years old but I'm wondering if anyone has come across a similar issue. And if so was it worth getting fix or did you ultimately replace them.

From another website "I had a Rokit 5 go bad (constant crackling). I took it to a local electronic repair guy. It had a pooched capacitor (I think) on one of the internal amps. He had it fixed within a day and it cost me $60.".  Two others said basically the same thing, similar cost.

 

Old electrolytic capacitor failures are a common problem in any electronics.

There's at least one good repair technician at Trew Audio in Canada, if you could get the monitors to them I'm sure they would be able to help.
