"I will try the oop blanket (1000 + hours ?)."
Eeeks! That's 41.5 days of non-stop playing.
Be careful about how long and how loud your run any speaker's driver non-stop early on. Speakers are electro-mechanical devices and heat does builds up in voice coil and former. I don't think any high-end speaker manufacturer actually designs their drivers for that kind of extended use and heat build up.
I have the Cain & Cain IM-Bens(w/ Fostex FE-168 Sigmas) w/ a pair of passive Bailey subs. Initially, it took 250 hours for the sound to smooth out, but I could swear there was another big jump in perceived smoothness and naturalness north of 500 hours.
The first 200 hours, I took a 4 hours on, 2 hours off approach for a couple of days. Then, 6 hours on, 2 off. Finally, 8 hours on, 2 off. After that, they got 10-12 hours a day.
Sounds like a pain(it is), but I mostly work from home, so there wasn't much of an inconvenience. I just put on background classical and worked out of a downstairs room.
Regardless the journey, which is enjoyable, the end result is phenominal.
