Go to audio asylum.com under "speakers" you will find a new site for us Maggies owners called MUG. You cn get alot of info from people there about Maggies, I have 1.6s it takes about 100 hours to break them in, the bass will sound much better, it will go a little deeper than when you first hear it, also the top end will smooth out alot, some of what is about placement is right, but do check out the site I`ve told you about.

Magnepan break-in?
Hello! Can some Magnepan owners share some of their thoughts with me? I just purchased a set of 1.6QR's (actually, purchased them 4 months ago and just got them) and want to know what to expect from them. I haven't lived with dipoles for many years but know how critical their setup can be. My question is how will the sound change over time and how long does the "transformation" take? I would describe the initial sound as being somewhat "hard" and analytical, especially in the lower treble. I do not think my associated equipment is causing what I'm hearing and hope that the Maggies just need some break-in time. Should I give them some time to break-in or am I hearing them as they sound? Thanks in advance for your insight. Mike
