I've had the same problem with my transmission line woofers a few months ago. They would take incredible low frequency passages until one day I noticed a frightening pop come out of my woofers (Vifa 25OOO8). My system is located in a very dedicated enviroment in my house(basement. As the summer progressed my wife and I dicovered that the humidity level was getting high. So we elected to install a 65 pint per day dehumidifier and Bye-Bye went the woofer poping. I would like to thing this wasn't a fluke, and hope maybe you can get bck to the reason you are in this hobby. E-mail me with your results. Joe Ritota
speakers bottoming out
Just purchased a pair of soliloquy 5.3's and was wondering if someone could explain just why speakers bottom out. Of course this occurs at high volume and under a fairly heavy base attack. What exactly is a speakers rating supposed to tell the owner (i.e. watts recommended) Is it even a problem I wonder?
