I also tried a box (the "DC" cut) just to see what they were like.
They do seem very soft for the written strength. However, they also
seemed very consistent, and the sound issue was hard to judge precisely
because they were too soft. I'm thinking it might be worth getting a
box 1/2 strength harder than my "usual" strength, just to check.
