Is it the beer or do speakers/electronics really need some extended warm-up period?
A glass (or3) of good Champagne with a good smoke (of your choice) alway makes my system come alive. Must be the long warmup🤔

Before I purchased my Sopra no2's, I auditioned them at Overture in DE using a Hegal then a Macintosh Integrated amplifier.  They were in 2 different rooms, each well damped and setup properly.  I wasn't impressed with them in the smaller room usi...
