CJ MF 2500A:is it gonna open up?

Hi
I am in the process of breaking in this amp and 2 days in it still sounds flat and metallic.No comparison to earlier fet models.Is it just the burn-in question or is it going to stay that way?The soundstage it throws is huge but the 3-D feel of earlier models is not here.Also,the midrange is kinda metallic.I can only hope some changes are coming.
Post Christmas depression is amplified right now.

I still have MF 200.MF 2500A has more detail,but listening to it doesn't hold your attention.Nothing is wrong with the amp ,It sounds like Krell,powerful but cold.I'll give it another week.

I was at work for 2 days and left it running.When i came back i noticed a big positive difference in the way it sounds,it is opening up.I am not worried anymore,thanx for all your consolations and Happy New Year!
P.S.MF 200 sounds like pure tubes to me,especially on record like Paul Desmond's "Bossa Antigua" and Stan Getz's "Jazz Samba" the sax is 2 meters in diameter and so 3-D that you can walk around it.
