and perhaps go with unactive speakers with an amp.



If that is the case, and if like an active monitor that I regularly
service , problem possibly due to poor quality, poorly positioned, or
low-spec reservoir capacitors in the power supplies that bulge and/or
spew their guts out.

In a small box like this they may benefit from being swapped out for
105° caps.
