Shahinian Obelisk Overhaul: burn-in period?

Hello to all fellow audiogoners!

I understand there are quite a few Shahinian owners here. I also saw some posts of the owners who had sent theirs to the manufacturer for an overhaul: bass driver replacement, midrange, tweeters, crossovers, etc.

I haven't had any Shahinian experience before getting my pair. So far, after two weeks of constant playback, they have indeed improved, but I still am not happy with their sound.

How long does it usually take for these speakers (with new polypropilene woofers) to burn-in?

Thanks for your advice.

Ebm,
Thanks. When I can, I use a Tara Labs burn-in CD, but the changes are so gradual it scares me.

Stingreen,
I am struggling to enjoy without criticism, but at this stage it is not happening (unfortunately).

My question was HOW LONG, as I thought this should happen much faster.

Anybody?

Drobin07,
It's a Hegel H300 amp, specs are here:

The sound is very schematical to my ears, I am mudding the overtones, instrument separation and ease of performance, especially with large orchestras, and especially at higher volumes. By "higher" I mean 50-60% loudness, higher volume is bearly bearable.

Rpfef,
I am out of town, will do my best to call you over this weekend, between 11am and 2pm, is this OK? And thanks for offering!
