Dynaudio breakin period

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?

passive ones..
