If you're like me you'll love them. Good as they are, though, there are things that will make them better. Accept that there's a break in period. That could be 200 plus hours. Use the resistor at first. There will come a time when you no longer need it.
Then go for the choke tweak. It's worth it. Although you could do this immediately in conjunction with the resistor.

Boy, Just a few hours in and I'm loving them. I haven't tried the resistors yet. Why do you say to use them at first? How would you characterize what the Choke Tweak does to the sound? I'll have to do some searching on that. I know even my MC1s had a significant break in. I'm thinking of just letting them play for like a week or do you think it is better to do in sessions?
I suggest you use the resistors at first because to my ears the speakers sounded too hot without break in. If they sound good to you that's fine, don't bother. The choke tweak I find to be beneficial in a high RF environment. They certainly don't hurt the sound.One method of break in is to use FM interstation noise 24/7 when you're not there. Probably that's the fastest. Otherwise just listen to them, they only get better over time.
Congratulations, they're great speakers.
