Break in period for Audio Physic Virgo 3?


Anybody has an experience with the new Virgo III?
How many hours is the break in period before it starts to sing?
Thanks everybody.

Break-in time for dynamic speakers seems to vary from one speaker brand to another. I have owned several brands that took from 50-100 hours to properly break in, but this can be accelerated by running the speakers at a moderate volume for several days (assuming you are going to be at work). It is normally the bass driver that takes the longest to break-in, particularly if it has a stiff suspension. Further, the bass driver, and to a lesser extent the mid-range driver, experience more excursion than the tweeter, and running these drivers on a sustained basis to induce excursion is what takes time.

I would hope, however, that your Virgo's don't actually "image all over the place" as Jbm suggests -- one would hope that the speakers actually image in only one, defined spot (otherwise, you are getting the opposite of imaging)...(smile).
