annoying speaker rattle or resonance with--Milk Carton Kids CD?


Getting a pretty pronounced rattle with the Milk Carton Kids, Ash and Clay.

Paradigm Prestige  2.5 way tower speakers, older Yamaha integrated, maranta CD player.

Folk music can have a little different sound from rock or classical, so I've played a few other CDs, Kate Wolf, Bill Morrissey that are a bit similar in the timbre of the human voice. Morrissey's stuff has a more extensive rhythm section. 

Puzzled, because usually if a speaker rattles on me it is on a bass heavy passage.  E.G, Moody Blues, intro to Tuesday Afternoon...

But something about this particular CD does not agree with this system. 

We have a secondary system in the bedroom, nothing special.  Entry level Yamaha CD player, Marantz receiver, Wharfedale speakers. Same CD Plays fine on that. 

If this offers any hint as to what is happening, it is not exactly a rattle that I can track to one specific driver.  More of an unwanted and excessive resonance, even at low volumes. 

Trying to replicate with other CDs. Might try a Simon and Garfunkel live CD.

Any helpful inout appreciated. if it is, "Don't listen to that CD," I'll take it under advisement. :)

Make sure it is the speaker n not something in the room

Test both speakers by swapping l and r see if rattle follows
