question about breaking in speakers and amp


HI all,

I set up my new (and first) system the other day. I must say it sounds really good out of the box -- so here is my question. I got three pieces -- a Jolida tube amp, a music hall cd player, and Quad 21L2 speakers. What should I expect to hear change as the equipment starts to break in? What should I be paying attention to?

Thanks!!

in my experience, break-in is the biggest hoax in audio. your speakers and amps should sound perfect within 24 hours, or i would return them. (i will agree that tight, large woofers may need a bit of time--a few hours-- to loosen up, but that's it---and most people burn in speakers without playing bass heavy music which is part of the problem)

glad you enjoy your system right out the box! most people here can't do that because of their preconceptions
