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

Hi Folks,
I just bought a pair of dealer demo (10 hours on them at most...) Excite X 16 Dynaudio speakers, and am wondering how long Dyn's take to burn in, and how you've done it. I have the Ayre/Cardas burn in CD and don't understand which track is good for speaker burn in. Have any of you used it? Or how do you burn your speakers in? Will there be big differences in the Dynaudio's after burning in? Thanks for any input...Brian.

This person asked for advice for a valid situation. Obviously those of us have experienced this and are giving suggestions. Why is it that in EVERY audio forum out there... non beleivers/experiencers have to BAD mouth and invalidate those that have experienced something and can assist others with their solutions to the situation? Why do they need to pipe in?If a topic does not apply to you... MOVE along!My Totem Mani 2's (Same drivers as Dynaudio) sounded so bad out of the box that I didn't listen to them for a week! I had heard about this... but never experienced it until now... I just left the tuner on at Medium volume while away... and low volume while at home, and even lower volume while sleeping. Every couple days I would play a song... NOPE.. still harsh, brittle, head ache inducing. After a week... I could start to listen to them... playing only a album... a few songs cranked up... as others have mentioned...  and started to notice them get smoother and smoother over the next few weeks. At some point you will just say Ahhhh... that's better!.. and start to really enjoy them.

Martin Logan states in the manual of my Classic ESL 9’s that their bass drivers need to loosen up and the sound may seem to lack bass during the first 75 hours or so. My experience confirms this, there was definitely a significant change for the better in the sound quality but it’s hard for me to tell how much time it took until the sound stabilized, especially considering that the amplifier was also new.

Anyone who doesn’t believe in speaker  break in is a straight up fool. Or trolling for  attention.

Probably also believes the world is flat.

I agree that they will take a good while before sounding their best.  I recently auditioned a pair of Evoke 20 in the local shop and the dealer turned it off after 2 min as we both heard shrill and congested sound with no stage at all.  He had just removed them from the box.  He also sells Magico and part of the service when is actually putting the 200 hours on them in the back room before delivery so when they arrive they are ready to rock!
