How long it take to run in brand new loudspeaker?

I just bought a pair of QUAD 11L Bookshelf and found that the high is bit soft, is that due to insufficient run-in?

After a month or more of play, the midrange was more open, the treble relaxed yet still detailed and overall more liquid. Also soundstaging grew and center focus locked in better.

I've found that some components can take much more than 90 hours to burn in sometimes over 500, so it's possible you might enjoy further improvement. Have fun.
