Marten Coltrane Alto speakers
if speakers do break in over such a long time, why have i never read a break-in that went awry and the listener hated it?its your ears "breaking" in, not the speaker. KR 
Spectral DMC 30SS& DMA 250, need advice

Anyone heard the new Focal Grande Utopia EM?

Anyone heard the new Focal Grande Utopia EM?
cajunpepe- the 328 starts at 32k.reading all of this goes to show how the Evolution Acoustics MM3 looks like a bargain---haven't heard it, but if i was spending over 30k, looks like a steal.
