Question to those believing in speaker break in


Hej

How far apart should I put the speakers when placing them front to front and with reverse polarity on one of the speakers?
Somewhere I read 4 inches, but why not as close as you can? Totally together if you can?

I would use this as an opportunity get to know the sound of your speakers and to listen to speaker break-in. Part of the enjoyment of Audiophilia is learning to listen. But, and this is not contradictory, try to listen to the music, not the speakers. Yes, I know, you just got them… exciting. But you really want to learn to listen to the music and thusly understand the effect the equipment has on it… versus listening to the equipment. The former is quantitative the later is Analytical. With the latter you can go off on a wild goose chase of detail and slam and find the music does not sound that great.
