It's been years but I bet my Dynaudio speakers took 500 hours or close to it. You could hear bass you just knew it wasn't like it should be, you could hear the tightness in the woofers. If I hadn't heard a pair broke in at the store I probably would have returned them, I was tempted anyway. Finally I could hear them beginning to give.

I've had speaker break in before but I'll never forget that Dynaudio experience.

My JBL's didn't seem to have the same type tightness in the woofers it just took them a while to flatten out. What was interesting about them was the compression drivers, they changed in character a couple times before settling.

I agree with you. Every single horn speaker I've had needs at least 400 hours and my Aqua La Scala DAC was 600+ hours. The Luxman gear I had - every piece - was exactly the same at 275 hours was the positive switch over.
 
they have been playing on and off now for 4 days. Yesterday afternoon I did a few adjustments and they are really settling in and sounding terrific. If you do like to rock these babies can rock like crazy. They have terrific bass and don't fall apart when you push them ( amps might) ,
The Mid and tweeter are settling nicely and they image really well.
I made a few small adjustments this am and I really like what I hear. I think that by the weeks end they will be close to 100 percent.
These are not hard to make sound good by the way

From what I understand they should fire forward with no toe in, right?
