Hi,I own a pair with about 200 hours on them. A couple of things, they are not a warm speaker if that's your preference, and can be forward depending on the CD you're listening to. In general what is in your cdp is what you will hear. I had asked about the forwardness on agon and was told they take 300-400 hours to break in. Already they are sounding better. GMA is a great company to work with, very accessable and responsive to questions (no I'm not assoc with them in any way). I had them do a 100 hr burn in and was worth the $75.00. Speakers weigh 45lbs each so a strong stand is important. I would also recommend a sub woofer to extend the lower end. Primarily I listen to jazz,easy stuff, and old rock&roll and does a good job in all of these genres. Dave
