Break in period for Audio Physic Virgo 3?


Anybody has an experience with the new Virgo III?
How many hours is the break in period before it starts to sing?
Thanks everybody.

From the Cardas.com site:

"A note on breaking in box speakers, a process which seems to take forever. When I want to speed up the break-in process, I place the speakers face to face, with one speaker wired out of phase and play a surf CD through them. After about a week, I place them in their normal listening position and continue the process for three more days. After that, I play a degaussing sweep a few times. Then it is just a matter of playing music and giving them time.
"

After placing them face to face and out of phase (switch one of the speaker's + and - connection) I also put a rug or some other type of dampening material over the junction so I can crank it up a bit louder without causing too much disturbance. This trick works great because with the speakers out of phase, they are working together not against each other to break in.
