Genelec 8250 issue

my genelecs have developed an issue...while running my 8250s with AES xlr connections using my RME UFX as a sound card one of my genelecs have started to buzz when ever i am working with any sub content from 40-56hz only one of them does it have tested with analog connections and different sound card (UAD APOLO) and it still buzzes when ever i work with sub or sine waves within 40-51hz region.
does this mean my woofer is busted or amp issue. the other monitor does not display this problem and GLM is running an even tune. even when i bypass GLM still get this distorted sound whenever working with sub bass within 40-56hz range.

Hi Essi,

I wouldn't like to start guessing the root cause without further information. It is best that you contact your local distributor so that they can have a look.
