Interestingly, I think the LRS speakers I purchased last year just opened up.
I'm mentioned here that I switch them with another pair of speakers (Fritz) and they probably see 25% of the play-time ...So even though I took delivery of them almost a year ago, they have very low hours.
I thought they were fully broken in and I've been happy with them after about a couple weeks of listening and adjusting. Then sometime over the winter I started to feel that they were getting better. The 'diffuse' nature of Magnepans kind of sync'd up and, at once got both more focused but also deeper.
Then , just last month I had them out for a week...rediscovering how good they are. And the sound got better again.
In my case, contrary to what a lot of ppl say, I felt that out of the box the treble was soft . It was confusing since so many ppl say the highs can be difficult. Well they have sharpened while the bass has also extended into a satisfyingly deep and controlled musicality ...even without a sub. (although I do usually use subs with them). I would articulate it as a bigger sound , focused yet relaxed.
I wish I had tracked the number of hours until this point. Also, I wonder if taking them out of rotation so much starts the process over in some way? The only reason they get less playtime is the visual aspect as I have to keep the living room usable in other ways. Plus the Fritz speakers sound amazing too and the LRS are so easy to move as long as you have a good place to stash them when not in use.
I have them on Magnarisers "Slimline 2" stands that I purchased when I was waiting the 6 months for the LRS to get to me. They are powder coated in the same cream color as the LRS's. I prefer tweeters on the outside.
thanks
