brayeagle,
I play practically every type of music on my system, jazz, rock, fusion, electronica, soundtracks, classical, country, folk, world music, choral, you name it.
Sometimes I ride the volume for the comfort of my ears (I do have to watch classical music which can go from 0-100 in an instant).
There are some tracks of music that, try and fiddle as I might with the 2.7s, never attain the hair-raising experience those tracks had on the 3.7s. But those are ever fewer as time goes on.
ronkent,
Your 3.7s had to be used, weren’t they? Hence if break in occurred, I presume it would already have happened long ago. It’s my suspicion that it was acclimation on your part, vs the speaker.
I’ve acclimated to the different 2.7 sound now and in a way they now sound "different" to me (I don’t notice, or pay attention, to things I used to in how they differed from the 3.7s).
And I can find my 2.7s (or 3.7s) sound quite different over periods of time, and even from day to day, depending on my mood, hearing at the time, how I’m listening, what I’m playing, what me expectations for that listening session are, etc. For instance, during only the period of last week I went through a "Wow are these speakers are incredible, I’m totally happy with them" to "why am I finding nothing impressive on these tonight?" to "I really think I need a more lively speaker" back to "wow these are INCREDIBLE."
(And some of this has to do with the fact I’m juggling other new speaker purchases in the back of my mind. But it is amazing how my response to my system can vary, and if I was always presuming an external cause I may be attributing it to "break in" or "AC issues" or any other in the standard audiophile list).
