Totem Rainmaker distortion??


I have a relatively new pair of Rainmakers, and in the lower mids I'm getting a vibrational buzz at certain frequencies. Have any other owners experienced this? Is it part of the break in process? It is quite disturbing especially on vocals. Thanks for any insight.

I had a similar issue with a pair of Arros and it turned out to be the woofer enclosure overlapping with the tweeter enclosure and creating a vibration around 500 Hz. I brought them to Totem (I am in Montreal) and they inserted an ultra thin gasket between both that I believe made it standard in their subsequent Arros model. Et voila.
I was a bit upset at first but things like that can happen and it is how manufacturers deal with the issue that matters more than the issue itself (unless it is a question of life and death!). Not to mention spending time with the designer himself while his guys were fixing the problem. Vince is a class act and a true passionate.

Just out of curiosity, do you like your Evo 10 better? how do they differ?
