Dynaudio burn in time and how you do it...

As Randy stated above,just play music thru them.You can follow the progress from the first day "these sound good" to suddenly on another day "wow,these really sound good".Why buy speakers and not listen to them?Just my thoughts.Congrats on your new purchase,enjoy them.

My reply above is to break in the speakers as fast as possible. 200-300 hrs of listening time is quite a long time. The compromise would be , Yes, listen to them and enjoy them. But when not listening , the quickest way to break them in is as discribed above. Most importantly is to have fun and enjoy those great speakers. Hope this helps.

I’ve done speakers all sorrts of ways… and the thing I’ve found out is this… just play ‘em.

Modulating volume is good… play ‘em loud and soft and so forth… and all the time…. More or less. A month’s worth of daytime 12 – 18 hrs each day is plenty and all will be on track by months end usually.

There is something to be said too for playing them loudly towards the end of the deal though. I’ve had some speakers which simply would not ‘unlock’ until some ample juice got pushed into them.

So turn on the cable box to rock & roll, or what have you, and let them go! Listening now and then isn’t going to be really a noteable thing as in time, you’ll forget much of exactly what hamppend when… and just how much value is that to you anyways? Didn’t sound too good… then they sounded better… then not so better… then they were good… so what?

Drivers merely need to flex, and X overs need to have juice running thru them just like CDPs, preamps, etc. 16hrs per day = 102 per week. One month = Ready for prime time!! Usually.

At about 3weeks you can start shifting them into position and by weeks end you ought to be able to finally spike ‘em into place.

I agree with Blindjim.

These are great responses/insight folks! Thanks so much for your input and help.
