hey, just signed up so hello everyone
just got some harmon kardon soundsticks II, and today a young family member stuck their finger into the small hole beneath the 4 tweater cones on one of the actual tubes. just wonderin if this is ok like (wot are the holes for, can this cause damage ect?)
hope they ok, dunno if im bein paranoid coz they have a history of breaking my stuff wen the come round, already broke my ds lite
anyway any advice would be great, they still sound fine though

The holes (called a "port") allow air to move more freely when the speakers are playing sounds - the port allows for more efficiency, which can be important with small computer-style speakers. Do a Google search for Bass Reflex (the kind with a port) vs. Acoustic Suspension (non-ported)speaker types.

Unless the youngster jammed a foreign body in to the speaker as well, I doubt his finger would do any damage whatsoever.

Oh, and just to help out those who may not be native English speakers here on MacNN, and to make your posts far more readable, please don't use AOL-speak or cellphone text message abbreviations. It makes things harder to read, actually.
