Yo'Ben.Just do what you can,given your circumstances.It will just take longer.No wine before its time.I too, live in a flat;also called an apt here. How long were they demo'ed? Seems like demo stuff should already be broken in,plenty.Stick them in a closet,covered with blankets,wired out of phase,facing each other,get a burn in cd,and good luck and good hang in there!
Running in speakers?
After aborted attempts at securing a Bel Canto Dac1 purchase (see posts on Hellohifi debacle)to the UK. I decided to spend the money I didn't have on new(ex-dem) speakers-a lovely pair of Proac Studio 150's. After intially being blown away by a more 3d soundstage and plenty more detail I am now starting to note perhaps some of the harshness et the high end associated with these speakers before they run in-it's also acknowledged they take a long time to run in. Any tips on this? I live in a flat so extended periods (ie overnight)with the volume up isn't practicle. Does the volume level matter? Thanks in advance. Ben
