Hi, I was just wondering how long I should play my monitors to loosen them up. I've been playing them very loud for the last 2 days. i heard it helps the woofer and cables. Is this true?

The woofer - yes.
The cables -

No im serious I read this on a forum, i think SOS forum, i wish i bookmarked it, supposidly the coils in the cables need to burn in or something like that, who the hell knows , could all be a load of crap.

Depends really, some people will say yes, play them for a couple of days. And other people will just laugh.

I would say a couple of days is fine!

Cool, also I noticed on some trance tunes when played loud the bass makes kinda like this rattling sound, but it's very faint. Is that port chuff?

it´s the monitors way of telling you that you shouldn´t play tarnce music...

try psy or prog...should be a lot better!

You sure it wasn't your doors or windows rattling?

If your speakers rattle, I'd be worried - very worried.

I don't think my taste in music should be of any concern, i was asking about port chuff. The whole speaker doesn't rattle, its only on some really low bass fequencies like if i boost a kick at 35khz (not that I boost those frequencies, i was testing out, because on some songs the sound isnt there), the woofer kinda makes this purring sound sort of like when u pet a cat.
