"However does break in radically change the sound - NO !!!"

The sound will tend to change a little. Whether it is "radically different" or "just a little bit" depends upon your expectations and sensitivity to sound differences.

The Thiels we currently own and use took awhile to mellow from new. FOr me this was a big and welcome development to my enjoyment. But their fundamental characteristics did not change - just the sound softened a little, the bass and treble extension seemed to improve a little bit and the whole thing seemed to be more coherent.

I think the shouting matches online really spring from the notion that one person's small change for the better is another person's big improvement.

As I have tweaked on my stereo over the last decade(s) I have noticed that the changes can be quite subtle, but feel VERY significant when you are getting close to the realism you want.

Like the last 0.5mm of twist on a telescope that brings everything into focus is very significant, but the first 15mm of twist have bigger changes.
