Yes I did. All fine.Check the screws on your midrange driver?

No, I pressed my ear directly to the speaker cabinet above the ports. The frequencies in question are in the midrange (unfortunately I don't have any measuring equipment) and do not affect the bass range.Listen to the rear of the speaker? Port noise?
Oh, this is nice. Thanks.@Emulator II
When i open the loudspeaker next time (for changing couple of coils, resistors and caps) i'll measure individual frequency and impedance responses of port, woofer, midrange and tweeter.
And i'll listen these songs tonight to see if i can hear something.
Few questions.
- How did you determine there is a resonance that origins in cabinet ?
- Have you compared the sound to headphones ? They can help distinguish if the sound is supposed to be there (on the recording) or not (product of the cabinet).
- Have you tried to take the spade off from woofer and then play the songs ? That would help determine if the resonance is product of midrange or bass enclosure.
Thank you very much.Yes, they come in pairs, a left and right one. The photo on the left is incorrect. Peter Comeau recommends that the tweeters are on the inside (like in the second photo).
I can hear the resonances on my headphones. Sounds like they miked a cabinet that exhibited those sounds. I have several songs where it sounds like my cabinets are leaking air or resonating strangely, but I hear them on other speakers and headphones, so I have chalked them up to being part of the actual recording.Since I've been listening to more and more electronic music lately after many "jazzy" years, I have to say first of all that especially more recent productions in this area demand a lot more from a speaker than acoustic music can. Of course, this affects the bass range, but also the higher frequency ranges. In the last few days I have come across two productions that have made my Lintons stumble:
Recondite - Rise (first track on "Hinterland")
Here there is first on the left channel at 0:04 and then on the right at 0:12 a bad cabinet resonance. Since it occurs on both speakers, I don't really assume it's a defect. If you listen to the rear of the speakers during these passages, the resonance can be narrowed down to the area of the midrange enclosure.
Roger Eno & Brian Eno - Spring Frost (first track on "Mixing Colours")
My Lintons cannot reproduce the beginning of the track cleanly. Here, too, I hear cabinet resonances in the midrange driver area on both speakers.
Maybe there's a Linton user here who can listen to the two tracks at a slightly higher volume and would like to share his impressions? Thanks in advance.
I found this interesting and tried to reproduce it. I cranked up my R3s to an average of ~82dB and could not hear hear it from my seating position. So, I queued it up again and put my ear near the left speaker and then the right speaker and could barely hear something like a resonance. I repeated the exercise with my F206s with the same results. Then I tried through headphones and definitely can hear something in the recording. But it sounds like it is really exciting your Lintons, where my speakers just play it without excitement. Probably worth further investigation.I can hear the resonances on my headphones. Sounds like they miked a cabinet that exhibited those sounds.

Both speakers need to have the same serial number. That's how you know they are pair and that veneer on them is mirrored.Is there a pairing for this speaker? Its tweeter doesn't seem to be centered. Should I ask the dealer to send me a pair of LOGOs in the same direction?
I think you mean "consecutive serial numbers" since each would have it's own number. I would add that while it would be ideal, at the very least you definitely need to have one "left" and one "right" based on the tweeter positioning. I got mine from an open box sale so they are not consecutive, but I did make sure I got one of each to make a proper pair.Both speakers need to have the same serial number.

Interesting because there are also "single" boxes so that they ship separately (mine did, although one of the two came in a non-original box, but the other did). I also don't see any markings as "left" or "right" on my serial number but presumably it's on the labels somewhere and on the box. I'll try to remember to check later.No. I mean exact same serial number. They are made as exact pairs. Packed one piece in a box since they are large but both of my Lintons have exact same serial number. One is marked as left, other one as right.

So, i've just used spectrum analyzer. Those sounds you hear at the begining of first YT video are two component tone - spikes located at around 140Hz and 280Hz and moving up to 360Hz. That rules out the midrange since the crossover point between it and woofer is at quite high 630Hz.
Could this be a YouTube encoding problem ? I listened to the tracks on Apple Music and it doesn’t sound as resonant as YouTube. Both tracks definitely have a lot of low frequency energy, so without room correction I can imagine them sounding very boomySince I've been listening to more and more electronic music lately after many "jazzy" years, I have to say first of all that especially more recent productions in this area demand a lot more from a speaker than acoustic music can.
