Enjoyed reading comments by Rene and Jalanc regarding the Abbys. I've got SuperAbbys and one Bailey and, after 44 years of owning all kinds of audio gear, I can honestly say that the Cains are by far the most enjoyable and rewarding speakers I've ever owned. Yes, I've heard and owned some wonderful (and expensive) speakers/equipment over the years, but I've never before experienced such an easy, open, and simple musical experience. I find that I can now ignore the audio components completely and just focus on the music. Sounds disingenuous, I suppose, but it's more true than not. I have no doubt that there are 100s of better speakers on the market (better amps, etc), but I have no need to think or worry about it. My SuperAbbys/Bailey are simply magical (in my listening room and with the audio equipment I'm using).
Cain & Cain Abby , placement ,care and phase plugs
Two things. First I did not get or see any info with my Abby's(could have been lost). So is there a breakin time (I read from 100 to 400 hours?) , is placement critical, and what about the care of the Great looking & sounding speakers (wax them , with what?)? Second has anyone tried phase plugs with the Abby or is this just not a good idea? Jazz and Rock is what I like.
