What jea48 said, plus 1. Buy an old stereo receiver and tune it to a rap station(a heavy bass genre). Place your speakers close together, hook them up out of phase(with each other) and facing one another, with a blanket over them. Much of the sound will cancel out that way and not drive you crazy.
Quicken the burn in time for new speakers by using a cheaper SS amp?
I'm in the process of buying a new pair of speakers and I would like to burn them in quickly without using my main tube amp (I'm new to the tube amp scene, but it's my understanding that you should not run a tube amps for very long periods) and by running them for longer periods using a much cheaper SS amp. I'm thinking about using a cheap $125 Integrated Yamaha Amp http://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-R-S201BL-2-Channel-Stereo-Receiver/dp/B00F0H88SY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electroni.... The new speakers are going to run me about $3K. I'm willing to buy the cheaper amp just to burn in the new speakers. Any advice or comments would be appreciated.
