It is the magnets becoming detached &amp; moving to one side &amp; trapping the coils&nbsp;which causes this.</p> <p>Chris.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/300038.aspxWed, 03 Nov 2010 11:31:10 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:300038sodoi180https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/300038.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=300038<p>Any advise on how to prevent this.

Please do comment on how this beomaster and beovox would sound.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
