There seems to be a bickering here only for the sake of bickering now....
Summation of last threads:
New expensive monitors purchased; YAY! and happy!.
Manufacturer says take time to run them in your environment so they break in and give their best results; YAY! no problem.
Someone makes a comment about why that is needed. Obviously a valid question and a good thread topic; Yay! Cool to engage.
Thread moves to and argument about how or whether the break in period is needed; HUH? Why the hell do you care?
And if one does or does not have the ears to hear the change, then it doesn't matter.
Personally I noticed a change in my A7x monitors after 20 hours. I stated that the mids became clearer and the highs less harsh. Not sure about the low end because I also have a sub. I didn't notice much change there though the clarity of all was much better.
So, the point here is not about why a manufacturer would not 'break in' a speaker themselves. In fact I personally like that the manufacturer gives me the opportunity to do the 'break in' within my studio environment. Contrary to other speaker manufacturers that lie to you and say their monitors sound great in your room-no matter what size or environment...
Can we just let this one die please? Looking forward to hearing how you get on with your Focals Miro! I bet it is going to be like Christmas at 10 years of age. Only a few years later in life.
