| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs I experienced exactly the same thing through my ProAc D38's, the woofers would flap about all over the place without producing anything audible. My phone preamp has a subsonic filter, engaging that sorted it out. I was reluctant about the idea of ... | |
