Burning in period Nautilus 800?


B&W replaced all the units of my 800's. The mid/high freq is allright now, but the low freq are a little bit laid back. How long will it take for the big units to be broken in?

Mids and Tweeters do break in quicker than woofers. I've heard it many many times.. Crossover parts however, take a VERY long time to break in.. a solid 3mo + for capacitors.

To properly break in a woofer you must play the speaker with program material which contains a fair amount of bass content (obviously) and after warming up the speakers play them a fairly high level for extended periods. Preferably when you go to work. The woofers should be ready in about 400-800 hrs.

After breaking in over 40-50 new pairs of speakers, including some DIY projects, this has been my experience..

I'm not kidding either..

Hope this helps.
