Acora speakers at Axpona

Break in time probably depends on the surround material. Mine took 300-400 hours and the difference in the bass performance was huge. Happy listening   
When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song.
I too have gravitated more to female vocals in music. The female voice is one of the most beautiful sounds there is. But it is mainly because my system (not on my page yet ) is able to bring out the best in them. I’m not really a jazz fan but Dian...

@teo_audio  What are your thoughts and experiences with Rockport speakers ?

If you can stretch your budget a bit higher the Rockport Avior ii would be well worth an audition. Matches well with your Diablo 300.   
Need Help Matching to This System To Speakers
Just convince your wife how much better a floor stander will sound and look great too! If that doesn’t work bribe her. That’s what I did with our family room. Check it out on my page. Good luck !    Ron   
Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers
Are you looking for end game speakers/amp? Rockport Avior ii paired with the Boulder 866 would fit the bill. Good luck! Ron
