    Any EQ in the chain (analog or digital)?

    Could be clipping or intersample overs

    You mean like they're not moving as much as you'd expect at low volumes? Might wanna try what @ext1 had me do and check if the distance between back and voice coil isn't too far. Prod the part of the diaphragm where the coil is adhered to with something VERY gentle like a plastic or silicone spudger.

    What are you hearing? If it’s some kind of buzzing it might be a hair touching the diaphragm.

    It's buzzing that sounds exactly like the Focal driver exertion issue to me, but here it's only happening at about mids and higher. Low mids and below it's fine.

    Happening on Piety, Vali2+, and a few small amps my friend had when he borrowed them for a few hours. Not happening with SW51 and Stellaris.

    Investigated amp power source by swapping sockets around and removing stuff from surge protector to no avail.

    Turns out it's most likely a weird power issue I'll have to investigate further.

    Sometimes audio is so. much. fun.
