[QUOTE="Big G, post: 75055, member: 1725"] I've never known this to be the case with Audiophile speakers, but I had an experience with a bass cab.... I bought a bass cabinet with four 12" speakers in it, and at first it sounded horrendously thin, and when driven, got rather hot and started distorting or clipping. I scratched my head quite significantly, confused as to why this very well respected cab sounded so thin and distorted? It turned out that the manufacturers ship the units with a piece of tape over the drivers rear vent. This was to protect the cone whilst in transit, but was supposed to be removed by the regional distributor on arrival. Obviously some got missed!? Once I took this tape strip off the rear of the cone, the cab sounded so strong and never distorted again! I'm still using it today! I'm not suggesting that this is what is wrong in this instance, but it may be worth investigating if there is no warranty on the speakers? Just take the cone out, and have a look at the rear of it and see if there is a piece of tape over the back? Regards G! [/QUOTE]
