I have a pair of these speakers (M6082) that I use for good stereo
sound with an iBook clamshell. I got them for free (a local Salvation
Army was about to throw them out!), so I can't say I know much about
their operational history, but I've noticed an issue with them. Most
of the time, they work wonderfully, but if the volume of the music is
very quiet when compared to the rest of a track (say, the first few
notes of the slide guitar solo in Zeppelin's 'What Is and What Should
Never Be' for example), the sound will cut out completely. It's not a
big deal, but it does kinda kill the mood when there's supposed to be
a soft part and it just suddenly disappears until the song gets louder
again. Increasing the volume usually will do the trick (as the little
OS X volume pop is usually loud enough for it), but at night when
others are sleeping, that's not an option.
Is this a known design/performance issue with these types of speakers,
or is it just mine? I can't complain a bit about their cost-
effectiveness, but I figured someone here might be able to satiate my
curiosity. Thanks in advance.
