Dynaudio breakin period

Quote:"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 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..

ok, I owned C4's awhile back and thought they were pretty good. Dyn's do have a different take on high frequencies however. Most people hear a slightly shelved down aspect or less shimmer to the highs. It's subtle and system dependant in some respects, but all things being equal, Dyn's have a dryer less vibrant top end as opposed to a Totem for example. In any case they are still very musical speakers and can open up considerably after a lengthy breakin.
