Dynaudio burn in time and how you do it...

Hi Folks,
I just bought a pair of dealer demo (10 hours on them at most...) Excite X 16 Dynaudio speakers, and am wondering how long Dyn's take to burn in, and how you've done it. I have the Ayre/Cardas burn in CD and don't understand which track is good for speaker burn in. Have any of you used it? Or how do you burn your speakers in? Will there be big differences in the Dynaudio's after burning in? Thanks for any input...Brian.

Just play the speakers and listen to them as they break-in. See if you can detect how/if they change over time. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.

What? A common sense approach?
I applaud you sir!
Actually agree 100%. I for one would like to experience the difference before and after break-in for future reference.

Do any of you own the Ayre burn in CD? I have tried track 4, which makes the woofer move a bit...is this okay at moderate levels, or will it harm the woofer in any way? Sorry to ask stupid questions, but the liner notes on the CD offer nothing of what the tracks are for.

By the way, I LOVE these monitors! Dyn sound is very nice for sure. Thanks all for your input...appreciate it.

My C1's sounded great right out of the box. After about 100 hrs they did sound pretty bad. At around 200 hrs they back to sounding real good again. At 350 - 400 hrs they finally sounded great. I just looped cds day and night till I hit 500hrs.

As Randy stated above,just play music thru them.You can follow the progress from the first day "these sound good" to suddenly on another day "wow,these really sound good".Why buy speakers and not listen to them?Just my thoughts.Congrats on your new purchase,enjoy them.
