RE: Raspy buzz on certain low frequencies

Thanks for the suggestions, George.

I am sure it is the speaker. I have swapped speakers (L,R), cables, amps, source material. Always the same bass area, with certain difficult sounds (timpani, low horn/trombone cluster chords).

I can see what looks like a Mylar patch in the area I think the buzz distortion is coming from. And it looks a bit loose, for an inch or two, not tight like the rest of the speaker and the other speaker.

I tried bracing this area with Saran wrap and foam, but this didn not really do anything. I want to find some of that sticky-but-removeable plastic, like the screen protectors for our phones. Don't seem to have any on hand right now.

I also thought about using a hair dryer to "shrink" the loose Mylar, but this seems dangerous.

As I said, this only occurs at VERY loud volume levels, and only on a couple of passages on certain recordings. So not really a problem, except my OCD personality knows it is there!

Tanks again for your time
