How long before Paradigm Studio series break in???

I'm praying that these speakers get better. I've had these for only about 3 days but I'm definately not happy. What I heard in the store is not what I'm hearing now. I like my music loud but these things get messy when things get loud. Is it possible that this is just because they haven't broken in yet? Is it because I need more power? When I heard them in the store they were being fed 425 wpc via a Sunfire Cinema Grand amp. I have a Parasound HCA-1500A which is only about 205 wpc. Could this be the problem?

I don't neccesarily need to play them loud now. I can wait for that. I just want to be able to play them loud once they're broken in. When I heard them at the dealer, they went pretty loud with the 400+ watts behind them. I just want what I heard in the store.

I'm sorry guys. I have the Studio 20's in the Rosenut wood veneer finish.

I've actually ran them a little loud for a few minutes a couple of times so far. I hope I haven't ruined the tweeter.

Thanks for all of your feedback. I think I'll be selling these speakers pretty soon. I wwas planning on getting into tubes within a few months and I don't think these speakers are ideal for small tube power. I'm currently looking at the Coincident Triumph Signatures (94 dB). I think these will appreciate the SET amp I plan on getting.
Oh well, we'll see.

Thanks again.
