At one point, I ran the Krell 400xi, Krell SACD Standard, and Focal Micro Utopia BE's. I had no trouble getting the speakers to disappear. At 40 hours your equipment is not even remotely close to being broken in. The Micro Utopia BE's in particular take a very long time. I'd estimate approximately 400 hours for them to really come around. I was using GutWire Chime interconnects and speaker cable as well as GutWire power cords which definitely helped in getting the best out of this combination of gear. I don't know what you're using for cables, but break-in is probably most of the issue.
My speakers don't "dissapear"
Equipment used: Krell 400xi, Krell DVD Standard, Focal Utopia Mico Be's.
I have had my system for a couple months now. I have tweaked and moved and adjusted (even rearranged my living room) to get the speakers to image and "disappear" but no luck. No matter what I do, I can clearly tell the sound is coming from the speakers, no soundstage.
Will more burn in help? I only have about 40 hrs on the equipment in it's current state.
