Seas Millennium Break-in time

Hi I just bought some new Tyler Acoustics Signature Monitors .The Seas tweeter is supposed to sound a little on the poor side until about 200 hours. Is this speaker(which is on it's way) really that bad until the 200 hour mark or is it not bad out of the box but improves some over the next 200 hours? How would you recommend breaking them in...playing them around the clock for 8 days at a moderate level or infrequently over two months or so...at a louded level? I am looking for a time & level that is best & what to expect out of the box. Tyler claims he player the speaker for 24 hours to ensure everything was operating properly.

Thanks

Bill

By the time we break everything in, something is going to wear out. I vote for it sounding very good from day one or maybe a percieved change as the suspension of the cone drivers limber up.

The Millenium tweeter does not sound bad/poorly upon arrival. I have the Linbrook Floorstanding Monitors, and they sounded quite nice from the start. I have about 300-400 hours on mine, and they still continue to improve. I've made some system changes, so I can't give you an overly accurate description of the nature of the changes.

Outside of playing the Ayre/Cardas CD, I didn't make any overt effort to break them in...just played music and listened. I like to enjoy the gradual evolution of component/cable break in.

200 hours with drifting response? Is that what Seas claim in their specifications? You may want to reconsider as a lack of stability is not really a good attribute in audio products. Most are designed for consistency and good stability under various conditions (climate etc.). I would check with Excel, I doubt there is a problem with this will respected driver.
