To me a buzz in a powered loudspeaker is much worse than a hiss. I would want to be on notice of any hiss or buzz, but a buzz is much more likely to result in a DO NOT BUY based on my own preferences.
I have to agree with this. A buzz in a speaker that only occurs at a low level and at a particular frequency is one of my pet hates. I have several pairs of small and otherwise quite lovely little speakers that have those characteristics. They are perfectly fine 99% of the time, but when the resonance is found in some piece of music, you can't unhear it. Much time and effort is spent tracking down the source only to find sometimes it's simply not worth the effort.
