Feeding a signal generator in then indeed a distinctly fluttery distortion
in the range 50 to 70 Hz on top of the wanted output, ok above or below that
range.
No external speaker output on this cube and before getting inside to scope
it or run an external speaker I took the front grille of in case of
parasitic rattling but no change. But putting a sock in the front/back vent
tube in the speaker surround cured it.
Where to go from here ? sci.acoustics.repair ? charge for an old sock ?


Try a different speaker.



Just normal "port noise" aka "chuffing" ? Mebbe they need to change the
diameter of the port.
