RE: I think that initial break-in has a lot to do with capacitors

My Maggies were fresh out of the shipping box.
For the first (maybe) 15 to 20 hours, the image would 'jump' between speakers or even have a momentary dropout.
The ONLY thing I could blame it on was Capacitor Formation. I went thru a similar situation with my Studio Stobe lights which have a huge amount of capacitance to provide long flash times.

All that being said, I have NO idea if a capacitor 'knows' where it is being used.
Too much is never enough
