My speakers are Vapor Audio Cirrus, which use RAAL's best ribbon tweeter. It has been very revealing of any cable and equipment changes downstream. Speaker cables are Tellurium Q Black, interconnects are an assortment.
It is possible there was only a few hours on it, as this was a dealer demo unit. If I had it for more time I would put it in the burn in system for 200 hours, with my Isotek burn in cd on repeat.
So I am open to the possiblity that with break in it could open up, but judging by some posts here this was not the case, so I did not end up buying one and risk making an immediate loss selling it on.
It sounds colored and not very neutral to my ears, but has fantastic bass control, it really locks onto the beat, and the midrange has this almost tube like presence.
It soounds a bit negative, but I think the Brio-R is better than the Marantz PM7003 and vastly better than the Cyrus 8xp I had in.
