Why do my bass drivers shake violently listening to vinyl


Hello Gon'ers,

Help needed. I took the grills off my new Vandersteen Treo CT's recently and noticed that when listening to vinyl, the bass drivers shake violently, meaning the amount and frequency in which they travel in and out. Then I played the same pieces of music from Tidal and they were relatively calm.

Is this some kind of feedback loop causing this? Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks!
Joe

Just how loud is your music turned up when you experience the issue with your woofers? I also have Treo’s and have never had that problem. Just to confirm I just played some bass heavy Bob Marley hitting over 95 dB that I rarely do with no movement on the bass drivers.
The speakers are on a wood floor with spikes and BDR pads as Vandersteen recommends. My turntable is on a very heavy solid walnut wall unit and a Symposium platform and the Subsonic filter is off on my phono stage. No rumble detected.
