Getting a warmer sound from my Beolab 8002 speakers

Haha alright then! :D I thought it was a bass reflex port!
And yeah I also was affraid of him poking holes in the drivers. For that reason I also was thinking of the BL 11; the drivers are a bit more protected. Also, I think if you have the aluminium version it would look really great in our interior.

Anyway, I first have to sell some of my camera gear before I can afford that subwoofer, haha!

I removed the text earlier because I was still analyzing things, but this is how things went:
A fuse blew and since then the tweeters of both 8002's stopped working and the maximum volume is REALLY much lower.
Could this be a defect in the Essence, or could both speakers suddenly be malfunctioning? I do have the feeling it's the &O system that blew the fuse, looking at these results.
To be honest; without the tweeters I like the sound much more; far less harsh and the bass is far less muddy!
