New REL R-528 Subwoofer break in period....

Greetings
I purchased a new REL R-528 sub.

I'm not real familiar with REL's subs,so...what should I expect for a break-in period?

A local Audio store was going out of business and everything was 40% off, so I couldn't help myself.

Can someone tell me some changes to expect?

Thanks

I think there would be a break in of some sorts, at least the amp in the sub....thanks for the comments.

Indeed, but the nature of a good sub makes it less obvious.

I believe the sound of this REL has tightened up a lot.
There is no boom to it at all, just tight bass, slam and punch, it's very articulate too.
It seems to add MUCH to the rest of the sound, working with the rest of the music...I'm really taken back by it, and the musicality it has added to my system is huge. I'm thrilled!

The RELs can transform the sound of a system...it did with mine also as it just opens it all up amazingly.

I just purchased an R 528 today to pair with my B&W 805Ds. Should arrive tomorrow... I am excited!
