RTI-10 midrange driver pops

Newbie here. I have a set of RTI-10s less than a year old and noticed that on some music types the midrange driver begins to "pop" when only moderately driven. Its usually punchy bass music that makes the speaker pop . It seems like the crossover for the midrange may be allowing too much bass to the speaker??? Its not a loud pop, but is very noticable. I have a Denon AVR3805 driving them, and the tone controls are set to flat.

Have the mid drivers always done this or is it a recent development? Are you listening in 2 channel or that abomination called surround sound?
Another question. Are you using a sub?Political Correctness'.........defined

I'm listening in 2 channel mode. i do have a powered sub, but there is no change if i turn the sub on or off. I am assuming the mids have always done this. I work alot so i dont get to "play" with my equipment often. I had some time over the weekend, and I thought i would give the Polks a workout. The pop will stop if I turn the volume down, but like I said In my opinion the speakers weren't being driven that hard to begin with

On the Denon, set your front L/R speakers to "small", x-over somewhere around 60-80. Assuming you use the sub out on the Denon.
