Klipsch Academy vibration/buzz

Recommended Posts

I recently purchased a Klipsch Academy center speaker and

noticed some buzzing and vibration with certain dialog.

I rotated the woofers and toghtened all the screws and it's still there.

I have the center crossed over at 80hz.

I also noticed when pushing on the speakers I can hear a scratching sound.

What can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Is this normal?

Looks like extra magnets glued on the back of woofers and tweeters.

Guy I bought it from said he bought it new and never took it apart....

They could be 'bucking magnets', used to cancel out external magnetic fields, such as those that would mess up/interfere with crt type televisions. Lcd/plasma screens aren't effected by external fields. I don't know if those came from the factory with them or if they were add-ons.

Thank you. 

I did some more research and found they are bucking magnets.
