I know less than I think
Hello All,
Recently stumbled into a set of Polk RT5. Nice medium bookshelves, and the folks over at Stereophile were suitably impressed by them:

Anyways, I hooked them up to my tube setup, and I noticed they sounded "rattly" and distorted when the volume was turned up a bit. Best I can describe, they sounded like a speaker sounds when it is being overdriven.
A quick removal of the woofers and a 180* turn to see it it was sag/coil rub, and still had the same problem.
A visual inspection of the drivers gives zero indication anything is wrong with them.
What would all suggest I check next?
