Dynaudio Audience 52SE vs. Contour S1.4

I already have plans to get a NAP200. The Naim UnitiQute is 30 WPC (and 45 @ 4 Ohms), not 50 WPC. Since we are talking about 4 ohm speakers, the Alpha 10P is closer to 150 WPC @ 4ohm..

The Alpha 10P sounds surprisingly good, although not quite as good as NAIM (as I would expect).

Austinbob, the contour S1.4s do need a long break-in time, roughly the time time your sales rep mentioned. I won't do what your sales rep suggested as it does not expedite the process (the same amount of time is still required to break-in those speakers). Rather I would suggest you to just listen to them and hear the speakers change over time. You will find eventually, the highs becoming more relax.

I've been playing them a lot and the sound is definitely improving! I find them pretty neutral and the overall response is better and highs much better now.
