Perhaps internally the speakers have been mis-wired out of phase? Maybe reverse + and- on one of the speakers.
New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem?
First time Gallo-user. Have been breaking them in according to instructions for approx 80hrs. Amp: ARCAM P49 (200 wpc in stereo mode), pre-amp Sonus Veritas Genoa, Source, ARCAM CD player (2yrs old), connections and wires all Nordost Tyr-or higher level. The new speakers are eating up the P49, I have the pre at full volume, and Strata's output is only slightly above conversation level. And, the sound I'm hearing is just like listening to the music thru tin cans. A friend commented, "these sound like mid-level television speakers". Is all this due to incomplete break-in, poor speaker orientation, bad system combination, or.....what? Any ideas are appreciated, as I had great hopes for these speakers.
Many thanks.
