So I read pages of reviews on these before deciding to order these.
The bass output is impressive on first listen for such a small speaker, however, something I didn't see anyone mention, is that at even just moderate volume levels, on pretty much any modern, professionally mixed movie, like Frozen 2 or some sucky Avengers movie, the ports on the bottom of the speakers make the most loud and awful and unacceptable noise on high dynamic range low frequency effects.
I've had monitors that cost 1/3rd of what these do that have not had this problem.
Is there anything to be done about this at all? How is no one talking about this? Stuffing the ports with socks removes the horrible sound but there is a dropoff in bass level. And stuffing $2000 speakers with socks just so they aren't embarrassingly bad while messing up the frequency response seems wrong.
Are these speakers meant exclusively to be used as PC speakers or something? Am I doing something wrong or missing something obvious? Do I need to return these?
