In Reply to: Speaker break-in thoughts... posted by pkats on April 12, 2007 at 06:56:47:
We recently went up one model in our favorite speaker brand after five years and my initial impression was a more authoritative sound, significantly more focused bass, more open mids and highs that rang more and sounded less like hiss.These impressions were diluted by a hardness to the sound that had me thinking something was wrong.
I re-cleaned the record and stylus but it was still there, not a lack of performance but a definite 'problem' kind of sound or lack of smoothness our old speakers had.
The next night was better, but I was still wondering what it was and was very perplexed at hearing all kinds of improvements... and this problem. That was two weeks ago and I don't hear it anymore, all I hear is an overall improvement from our old speakers, the problem has gone.
The manufacturer claims the speakers improve significantly during the first 100 hours of use and I can understand how someone of a pessimistic nature could interpret that as some kind of 'listener break-in' but more importantly to me the manufacturer says "until this period has elapsed, the speakers exhibit some sonic aberrations" and that is what I was hearing, not any kind of lack of performance, but a problem, that has disappeared.
Cheers
