I just recieved my second pair of YU4s after the first one suffered from some bad QC. There is some rattling noise coming equally as loud from both of them in segments of tracks that contains low bass. I tried using a high pass filter to check if it helped, which it did, but I needed to put the high pass filter all the way up to 100hz+ (Q of 1.18) until the rattling started to become completely inaudible. I also cannot just use a high pass filter as a solution because this will also remove sound from the subwoofer. I tried a tone generator on low volume, and both speakers produce equally as much rattling below 50hz. With most songs it is not an issue, but I would like to be able to listen to bass heavy songs aswell without getting annoyed by this noise.
Is this a normal feature with small speakers that are bass light, or does it only happen with a few of them? I don't know if they are defect, but considering it is happening with both speakers equally, it might just be that the speakers don't do well with low bass in general. Has anyone experienced something similar with smaller speakers, or have any ideas as to why this is happening? I might return them, which is a shame, because my room is not optimal at all and I don't want to start doing room correction, and these were really room friendly. Any suggestions on active room friendly speakers in this price range that will not produce this problem is welcome. Optical input is a plus considering I already bought Topping D10s, and can't return it anymore. I'll use speakers as desktop near-field, and the left one has to be pretty close to a corner.
