Speaker break-in tips..


Volume level and recommended music. For my M20s I used my tuner when (on a jazz station) I wasn't home and played what I wanted to listen to when home. Would I be better off playing a cd when I'm not around, something dynamic like the soundtrack to Gladiator or the like? Maybe you can suggest a paricular piece of music? As far a volume goes: moderate (not ear bleeding levels, of course) is usually the best, but I was wondering if I kept my system playing through the night, at a low volume; would that be cool? My new Harmonic Precision, Caravelles should be here hopefully, in a couple of days. Thanks in advance.

Ern, can you explain the out of phase deal? That's (I believe) where one speaker I reverse the plus and minus? Why place them so close together? What is that about? Also, I'm confused about "the softer you can likely play and get the same break-in." This switching the plus and minus won't damage the speakers, obviously? Can you explain? My ears are great, but I'm lost with this. Why will this speed things up rather than just plain ole running them at moderate levels with dynamic music? Thanks. peace, warren
Thanks for the clarity Tom. Volume perception? Should I turn the volume KNOB up to what? 12:00, 1:00, 11:00? What's the desired setting here, if any? I guess, running 24/7 I'll have, after four days, a good listening place to start. Yes? Running my system through the night will really speed things up. I love it. thanks again, warren
