I have a new pair of Callisto's with about 80 hrs on them. I let mine play continuously for a couple of days with different types of music before I gave them any critical listening. I cannot say enough about the MUSIC these speakers make. My room is small, 13x15x9.5 and I have brought out cd's I haven't listened to for years. I never heard all the music before or known the artist to sound so good. I now marvel in their talents and Roy Johnson is a genius. The break in period is very short to achieve great sound, but they get better every time I listen to the Callisto's. As far as low level listening, I have found with most speakers, wire and tubes will change the sound. Low level listening in my situation has been extremely satisfying and this is with 15 watts of tube power. Best speakers I heard at the Denver Audio Fest.

Anyone else breaking in a pair of these speakers? I have a pair with about 24 hours on them, and I hear moments of spectacular sound, but not yet at low listening levels. I know 200 hours is the magic break-in time period.
