I suggest you close your blinds or curtains when the sunlight shines on the cabinets or relocate the speakers to a more temperature balanced location. Manually altering the air pressure inside a sealed acoustically suspended speaker cabinet is not the best thing to be doing, otherwise the manufacturer would have installed a pressure relief valve and instructions on its use.

Thanks. I already removed the screw to eliminate the vacuum. They don't get much direct sunlight and I've closed the blinds on the windows when the sun hits them in the morning. I think the pressure occurred because we had a 30 degree temperature change in less than a day.
Magico ships the speakers with the allen screw removed to account for changes in pressure during shipment.
I think I'll remove the screw again and leave it out for awhile to allow the temperature to equalize. I'll send an email to Magico and see if they have a recommendation.
Ivan-
No luck with the GasX and the hardest part was getting the gel caps through the tiny screw holes.
