As hoped and expected, the "edge" is coming off these nicely as the hours roll through. Timing is right now...no perception of drag in the timing like the first couple of hours. The soundstage is pushing back into the room and past the back wall more every hour, and there's even more air and ease between the instruments. Decay is improving and at times is stunning. As I've noticed in past improvements, I'm not aware I'm turning the volume up a lot higher because the cleanliness and music doesn't sound "shouty". No complaints from the family that it's too loud, even thought it's at higher volumes than before.
They are already a clear upgrade over my Soul Supremes, which are killer speakers that I still love dearly. I'm definitely noticing more sparkle up top with cymbals, and in spite of being more pinpoint on some details, they're losing the hi-fi'ness I was noting when fresh out of the box. I expect that to disappear completely over the next few days based on the first 12 hours or so.
