How long before Paradigm Studio series break in???

wouldn't worry too much about the tweeters if you only did it for a few minutes...give them some hours behind them and they'll open right up and you can crank them. i own the 20s and i listen to my music farely loud so you won't have a problem.

Which speakers from Paradigm do you have? Typically you need 75-100hrs before you sit down and critically listen to a speaker. I agree w/ S7horton though 200+ is even better. (also you should never play a brand new speaker very loud. you can burn up the tweeter and it is not covered under warrenty) I know this since I am a Paradigm dealer and they will not cover abused speakers. Let the speakers play at a low/medium volume while you're at work to help break them in (your dealer should've suggested this). Remember when you here speakers at a dealer they usually have hundreds of hours on them so they sound better. Hope this helped ya.

Paradigms are 8ohm speakers not 4ohm
