Hey Everyone, So turntable placement and adding some pads under the turntable fixed the issue. I tried a few places in the room and found I needed to have the turntable farther away from the speakers, but not in a corner of the room. Putting the turntable in a corner of the room when it was even farther from the speakers actually made it worse. As someone mentioned above putting my hand on the turntable base temporilary calmed the issues when it was occurring. I found a place in the room for the turntable where the issue is now completely gone. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and help, I really appreciate it!

Hey everyone, sounds like I a have a few things to try here, specifically isolating the turntable to start with. I have been away for the holiday weekend and have not had time to try anything yet. I will try to get some time when my wife and kids are out of the house over the next few days and report back. Thanks for all the responses and suggestions, this is a great group!

Both speakers do it, there are no rips or tears. Everything looks good and is secure. Ok, I disconnected one speaker and when I run just one speaker it does not cause this issue. One speaker by itself works and sounds great. When I connect both speakers the issue comes back. Is this something you have seen before?

I have a used set of Klipsch Forte II speakers I picked up last year. I have always enjoyed Klipsch speakers and always wanted a pair (I still run KG4's in my living room) . They sound excellent at most volumes but when I push them hard the passive radiator gets stuck vibrating and causes a terrible low rumble noise. For example if I play side two of Dark Side of the Moon at the end of the album the vibration noise is very audible and when the music is over the passive radiators continue to vibrate and cause the loud low rumble noise until I lift the needle from the record. Just the background white noise of the needle on the record with no music is enough to keep the passive radiators stuck vibrating violently. Almost anything Led Zepplin at only moderately high volumes causes this as well. It ruins the ability to listen at high volume which is one of the reasons I got these speakers. My set up is as follows (yes i pulled out my old equipment when I bought the speakers): Onkyo Direct Drive Turntable CP-1130F with ST XLM II Cartridge Denon DRA-425R Receiver Klipsch Forte II (from 1995) Is this an issue with the Forte II's at high volume? Is there anything that can be done? The speakers themselves sound great and at lower volumes everything works fine. Any thoughts, suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks!
