Reliability of Dutch & Dutch 8C speakers

Ah, I see in the review images the fan. Thank you.

So, how often does that fan turn on, and what is the noise level. I likely would not even consider a speaker with a fan. My room is so quiet that I likely would hear it. I do not accept any fan in any component. I'm not interested in introducing potential noise generating equipment.  

I have never heard the fans. If you listen to the speakers muted you may hear the fans. Don’t know. I usually play music through them. The flashing LEDs inside the base of the speaker and network ports are a little irritating though. I imagine they are part of the computer inside. Would be nice to be able to extinguish them when listening in the dark.

Much of the music that I like and listen to has passages that go silent.  Quite a bit of music has quiet passages as well.

I'm with Douglas again on this one.

I also listen to music that has quiet passages and I’ve never heard the fans. I have just been listening to loud rock for an hour or so in a warm room, muted the speakers and listened for the fans directly under the speakers. What I heard was silence. Are my fans faulty? Should I return the speakers and demand that the fans be audible?
