Insignia - Can someone take me through the break-in stages?

Posted by JKelly (A) on June 25, 2006 at 09:26:04

OK so I bought a pair yesterday at BB for $35 and hooked them up to the system. There is definetly potential here
but didn't really hear the magic that turns me on to equipment. I guess they have to break in.
Anyway they are in the basement blasting to white noise for the rest of the week.

These are the problems that I heard and hope someone can tell me if these areas will improve.

1. Excessive warmth. Is the tweeter working? Sounded dull and on certain music just plain flat.
Will they come to life and sparkle?

2. Soundstage. I read it in the posts but I don't have any magic here.
Instruments are blended together in a blur.
They don't stand out clearly and don't seem to have a dynamic to them (compressed).
Will instruments have air around them and dynamics?

3. Little beamy. Seemed like a tight "sweet spot". Are these super directional? Will the sweet spot widen?

I would appreciate any comments from those experienced with these
on whether these areas improve or not over the break-in period.

I understand these are $35. but trying to understand the hype.

Thanks,

Jeff
