Problem with rear firing bass port

Also...u might want to contact Soliloquy directly for expertise...they might have a solution...such as plugs as one poster suggested...or maybe some damping ideas from others? Any thoughts people?

Yeap..that would be good.Call David Berman (president)and ask him . I'am sure he can help.He is normally hanging around there in the mornings and afternoons.His sister will most likely answer the phone and maybe able to help you.

Hey Gmood1,

While we are on the subject, I just found the worst review I've read on Soliloguy speakers at the following link:

http://www.unitedhomeproducts.com/id81.htm

Was the reviewer over the top? What do you think?

Yeah I saw that review.I believe it's from Positive feedback. I read it before I bought my speakers.But after listening to them myself.I figured the review was garbage.The husband and wife team reviewers believe there reference gear is better than anything on the market and some of their other reviews show this.This review was also done before the speakers were upgraded with the new Xovers. I have found out myself over the time of listening to them that the review pair couldn't have been broken in. The speakers will go thru phases before you hear the best out of them.I thought I had made a mistake when I first got them.But with some patience... will come great reward! The voice coils of the drivers are double wound and take alot of time to break in.I suppose it was designed this way so it could handle high wattage amps as well as be run with low watt amps.I have tried 25 wpc to 500 wpc and the 6.3s don't even break a sweat! I normally don't listen at loud levels but I caught a wild hair and put nearly 500 wpc into them.The speakers never distorted!!Have you every heard kettle drums at 110 plus db! They rattled the windows in the entire house!All of this out of two 6.5 drivers and 1 inch tweeter! I listen to all types of music.. mainly Jazz ,blues and classical.On some of the dynamic tracks these speakers will scare the hell out of you!There something special about hearing as well as feeling the sound waves on your face and body.If you look at the designers track record( Phil Jones). You will notice that this man is no dummy when it comes to designing speakers.There few companies that can claim that one person designed the entire speaker, including the drivers.
After trying different amplifications I found the Soliloquys are very sensitive to the changes.Some people like to blame the speakers for the bad sound they get,instead of making sure their source and amp are up to par.That's why recievers are out with these speakers.They are true highend and must be matched with quality components. If not they will let you know!

Gmood1,

Thanks again! This is why I will take comments from actual user over these so called professional reviewers - ANY DAYS!

I will indeed check out the Manufacturer date on the 6.3 demo unit.

thanks again!
