gold lion kt 88s break in time

thanks, I was wondering about the soundstage size, its not as big as with the EH kt88s . Chris

I had the opposite effect,soundstage opened up quite a bit.Maybe you can work with your speaker placement some.

I had a set of them in a Cayin integrated a cpl of years ago. I thought they were a little closed in at first too, although the friend who recommended them loved them from the start.

Let them run in 24/7 for a week. They were my favorite tubes once they got some hours on them.

thanks guys, I probably only have fifteen hours on them so far , so I will let them run and see what happens, I would be happy if they open up a little more, my sound stage is not quite as wide with these tubes, we shall see !
