Not sure of term but I notice some distortion/vibration coming out the speaker port?


First off...I know that you don’t listen to speakers this way! 😜

However when listening to my speakers at a decent level if I go the the back of them in one speaker coming out of the port I hear a little vibrations/distortion sound?

I cannot hear this when listening at my MLP but wanted to see what you guys though. 
Does it sound like my speakers bolts need tightening?
So I need more wadding?

Am I listening to loud?

Port noise is well known, especially with smaller speakers where bass signals too low for the port to be effective are present.

It could be that the screws holding your drivers are loose, worth a check and see. But otherwise the speaker is simply being played too loud or you'll need a crossover to filter the bass out (and probably a subwoofer to do the bass).
