PMC GB 1 Speakers - Running In

I have just bought a pair of PMC GB1 speakers.

Have been advised that there is an initial running in period of 12 - 15 hours followed by an extended running in period of 100 - 400 hours.

For how long do I need to keep the volume down with the speakers. I don't normally run it past 50 - 60% of maximum volume. I am currently using a Rotel RSP1066 and RMB 1075 which is 5 x 100watt.

Also what differences should I see/be looking for during this period.

Thanks

Alex

Alex,
IMHO, the joy of audio is the journey you experience with your equipment. I'm usually interested in how the new equipment sounds "cold out of the box". If it sounds tinny and bad, I would then subject it to a break-in period of a long week-end at half volume. Perhaps 50 hours. From then on, I would start listening to it and enjoy all of its improvements over time. But that's just me.
Do let us know how you like you GB1. I heard they are good speakers.
PMC speakers tend to require a longer period of break-in time due to their tweeters.
