Although, if it's not doing it with a sine sweep, it might be worth trying another softsynth - the simpler the better. Synth1 maybe? (it's free) Some synths have analogue modelling which could include some harmonic distortion.
I can understand that you're worried about your speakers being defective, but if you cant work it out I wouldn't worry - sound reproduction is such a strange science - for some reason my main monitors don't do anything at 300hz - I get literally no sound with a 300Hz sine wave, and a normal level at 299/301!
Moved them around and i'm still listening to that distortion.
it's very strange because it definitely comes from the monitors. when I'm 20 cm from them I can listen and it seems it's from the woofer. when I'm 2cm I canΒ΄t listen! it's more prominent with one of them, but it happens with both monitors.
it happens when I play a dissonant chord like c4 plus d5.
made it with pure sine waves and then when eq ed to cut the 500mhz frequencies the distortion disappeared!
Are they distorting in those frequencies?
Focal customer service didn't answer until now...
It's kind of disappointing...
