Things sound like they are settling in nicely. Just don't expect that to get to the "steady state" performance any time soon. The speakers will continue to improve and the wire will break in slowest. So don't rush to conclusions as to ultimate placement and ultimate fine tuning. Try out the more outlandish placement schemes and use your son's young ears and experience with live acoustic music as a good guide to how well the system and placement are doing.
Follow Ups:
So at what point do you think things settle all in ? How long for mids. How long for bass? Although I know the mix of both really defines the tonality of everything. As it sits now I would say they do sound a little tipped up. Especially noticeable in the vocal.
I know there is no difinitive answer and the cables could be part of it as well.
Btw. The wireworld bananas really fit well. Really snug - takes a little effort but they go in and I do not doubt their contact. I have them lightly screwed down but really there is no need
The bass will settle into a very gradual loosening process that will take 400-500 hrs. The mids will make most of the distance to their long term behavior in 100 and a bit hours, but continue to get more dynamic and shift their tonal balance downwards for another 3-400 hrs. If you play a breakin disc then you will be able to cut the time to 1/4 depending on the playback level. My suggestion is that you use music and play with placement and more exotic positioning like Rooze and Limage to gauge what they do and wait for the fine tuning phase. Try out a broad spectrum of music in "exploration" mode. That way you will not be bothered by the shifts in how your "standards" come out as the speakers etc. break in.
well I do have the Bach organ works that I can use.... but this is great information (as always)....
Right now - it is like I am hearing glimpses.... Really want to hear the mids warm up a touch which create a 'rounder' vocal.... Don't get me wrong - they do sound really good right now ... I have just heard them better - and I think my room is pretty good..... So patience is the key..... Also symphony - as always has sounded just spectacular... I don't know how these speakers get that 'presence'.... but they do...Its not like listening to a reproduction...
I really like the setup right now in the room... (My wife says 'its stupid'.... hahaha.....) but this is a dedicated room ... and the feel of it somehow.... got really high end - at least for me...
