Could any Monarch MKII owners do a test for me: Put in your Monarchs, don't play any music, and just lightly tap the body of the unit. Do you hear that? It sounds like tapping a balloon or palm-smacking the end of a plastic tube. There's a 'tight-membrane' twang sound that rings out with an echo.
Is this annoying sound an intrinsic part of the Monarch's construction, being that body of the unit is so light (ie lack of mass to kill vibration)? With my pair it's only subtle on the left unit but immediate and obvious on the right side, as though something is supposed to dampen the ringing but... just isn't, on the right unit. I hear it from basically anything that causes suddenly vibration of the units; tapping, laughing, clanging teeth, etc.
