I wonder how much of the "burn in" with Maggies is just our ears getting used to the very different type of sound they put out.
I used to have planar magnetic computer speakers growing up. I switched to standard dynamic type speaker a few years back. Since then every time I go back and forth between dynamic & planar magnetic it takes a few minutes for me to acclimate to each speaker's respective sound.
That being said I just got the MMG's (waiting on the 1.7's to come in) and they do seem to have a considerable burn in time.
That being said, as time goes on they do seem to keep getting sweeter and sweeter (regardless of the cause of this perception). I'm about 2 months in at this point and loving them.
I don't get the whole room placement problem everyone mentions though. I've experimented with various placements and they all seem to sound great. Whether they're 2 feet off the wall, 5 feet off the wall, doesn't seem to matter as long as you aren't right on the wall.
