Monitor woofer glue

[iHate]

Just bought these hs50m's. One is perfect, this one isnt. Should I care enough to exchange the monitor for different one? It kind of annoys me.

It's not going to make a difference in sound, if that's what you are worried about. But hey, it's your money, if it annoys you take it back.

Doesn't that glue traditionally bleed out on to the cone, ala NS10s?

Yeah they all do, but I think he is upset about the uneven job they did on it.

Ah I say for a $300 pair of monitors, worse things could happen

I'm sure if you wanted you could maybe get a replacement pair, but I'm sure you would have to jump through a lot of hoops. I say enjoy your new speaksers!

Interesting development, I didn't notice this before, and it could be new, but this monitor hums quite a bit louder than the other one. It's not hiss, but like a power supply hum. And it also just started to make a crackling noise every few seconds, but it only lasted about a minute and it has since stopped. Looks like I'll be returning it, but now I don't know what to do about the other one... They are decent, but nothing special and fatiguing as hell.

Get the 80s

Check if the louder hum is because of location, as in interference from something that's closer to the louder monitor.
