Generally an accurate time-frame, but not so for Dynaudio Esotar tweeters or C-J Teflon caps. But that's just fine; it is what it is.

IMHO, life's too short to get too worked up about about things like cap burn-in or driver break-in or asking how many angels that can dance on the head of a pin.

This is just a hobby we do for fun, after all.

As Hans Beekhuizen says, Enjoy the music. :D
 
One more thing to consider, we ALL hear things a little differently and we ALL have different brains to interpret what we ALL hear different. No 2 people hear exactly the same for many reasons including the shape of your head and ears, if you wear glasses, if you worked around heavy machinery, loud cars, loud live music and so on. What is interesting is that there are about as many people who agree it sometimes takes longer to break in a specific set of speakers (Dynaudio, Fyne) as there are people who say it is not so but have never owned a set of speakers that are being discussed. It is not black and white and one rule of thumb for everyone. If you don't hear a difference, maybe there is none or maybe it is your ears and brain tricking you in reverse.

It's always fun to watch people claim they know what someone else can and can't hear and that they know better than the multitude of people who tried to converse with then telling them how they are wrong.

They know better than car manufacturers, better than speaker manufacturers, better than other people who've actually heard speakers they haven't.

Makes you wonder why they get so angry about everything and feel the need to be the contrarian. I wonder if their sky is green?

what's more fun is watching people talk out there a55, , again, I agree about break in but you ignore what the manufacturer of YOUR speaker says on there site, mighty high discrepancy for 50hrs to 400hrs

enjoy the fynes, can't wait to hear how they sound with 750hrs on them:P

3 ways to run in your speakers
Now that you have your shiny new speakers all set up in the correct position and you’ve managed to wire them up using our wiring advice blog, let’s talk about running them in, otherwise referred to as breaking in or burning in.
Running in, Breaking In, Burn In, what is it and why do we do it?
While all our speakers are built to our Fyne exacting standards, much like when you buy a new car, the brakes and engine need some bedding in time to be at their best. Your speaker driver will have a degree of tension in the spider and the cone material and the surrounds for example will be a little stiffer. All of these parts will, over a fairly short period of time, loosen up and improve the overall sound quality. This usually takes around 24 to 36 hours of total play time. How you approach this breaking in period will probably vary from person to person, and you will probably find a multitude of options if you search the internet, but there are certain methods which we would recommend for achieving this.
 
an on a serious note, I do hope you enjoy the fynes, I look forward to hearing them at axpona, always a fan of older tannoys and hopefully they get there act together, later

Thank you. I'm loving them so far.

I think you'll be most impressed with them when you hear them.

And I agree - Tannoy is legendary and I too hope they pull things together. But I have zero hope with the existing owner when you look at his track record in the professional gear side and how he operates. He is a poison pill for the future of Tannoy.
