Question to those believing in speaker break in


Hej

How far apart should I put the speakers when placing them front to front and with reverse polarity on one of the speakers?
Somewhere I read 4 inches, but why not as close as you can? Totally together if you can?

I'll ring in with ghdprentice.  Just enjoy them. Put on your favorite music. It also might be fun to put on something praised by critics that is completely foreign to your tastes. Who knows? Maybe the new speakers will help win you over.

I did this method years ago with Revel Perfoma towers. I placed them about 8” apart and ran them with FM for a couple days at moderate volume stopping only a few hours in the evening when I watched tv. But I recently bought new speakers and just let them break in over a few hundred hours and enjoyed them while doing so. You’re gonna know when they reach their peak performance.

Thanks for your thoughts.

But my question was;  Why not put the speakers as close as you can? Totally together if you can?

ghdPrentice,
