Dynaudio breakin period

They'll get better faster, the louder you play them. Lots of bass is good too.

They won't change much but perhaps your hearing will adjust. Sonic memory takes a while for you to adjust to how your favorites (well known tracks) now sound.

I used to have the Contour 1.3SE and after a couple of years of using it I tried to run a burn-in CD for a week out of curiosity. Although not big there was a definite improvement in the speed and texture of bass notes. I listen at soft to moderate volumes so I guess the Dyn's never got the chance to fully break-in till I ran that CD.

When I replaced the 1.3SE with the C1 first thing I did was break it in with that CD.

I see your point and agree its a factor in some situations.

BUT.....and a big humoungous but..

My Arcam CD192 player took a couple of months to break in and I know it wasnt just my hearing,I almost returned it,I was really bummed,but it did, finally did sound great after two months of use! but I do understand your point. I own different speakers,all good,and it takes me awhile to get used to them again. They all have their specific qualities,and I re-adjust.

Dyn owners and Dynaudio Inc. say you must break-in their products,this was true with the Arcam,so theres merit to this fee-na-mee-nom.

We shall see.

I hope they do break-in and sound totally bitchin.

Are these the active ones or passive?
