Regarding 500 hours of break in time- you gotta be kidding. How in the world is someone supposed to remember what the sound was like 500 hours ago? Also, how do you track that many hours? I can't imagine a drivers' surround taking 500 hours to change( which to my knowledge is primarily what changes with break in).I used to work for a loudspeaker manufacturer, and if memory serves me correctly, the woofers would change after a few days of playing, and then remain constant after that. Also, what if the driver never changes- how would you know????
First Impression: Vivid Audio B1 Speakers
I'll start by stating that these speakers only have about 50 hours on them, so they're not even close to being broken in but, wow, what a speaker.
If you want to detail and transparency these speaks have them in spades. Depth, soundstage... superb. Put on a good recording and you'll be bowled over.
Sure, the low-end doesn't plunge the depths put they have GREAT bass punch. They definitely like some power but my Cary 211AEs work well.
You'll hear everything with these speakers so good front-end gear is a must.
Speaker placement is a bit tricky and I still don't feel I"m there yet but experimentation is part of the fun.
I'll post more in the coming weeks.
