Hey Polk Audio freaks, new member, just scored a set of Model 10s, sounded and looked amazing at demo. Got them home and it seems one of the cabinets is vibrating/ resonates at a higher volume. Removed radiator and inspecting cabinet but can't find anything. Any suggestions from the experts. Love to figure it out, thanks y'all...Here's a few pics...tf357cwno0ft.jpg

    Is the white wire possibly hitting the passive radiator?

    Maybe a suspension spider is loose on a midbass.

    Congrats on getting an AWESOME set of Polk Audio CLASSICS. B)

    Thank you Tony, hard to explain but it seems more like the cabinet itself...Tony L

    Does it vibrate with that passive being out?

    OH, by the way, I started loving Polk Audio speakers after I bought a set of Monitor 10s just like yours. I then bought a set on eBay before the shipping cost went up. I still own one set of the Moniitor 10s, and will when I die.
