I received these a few days ago. i had to wait till the weekend to hook them up. my integrated tube amp had 93 hours on it and i had burned in my new  speaker cables for 6 days on an Duo Tech cable enhancer. They have been playing for a few hours now and already the SQ is improving. i know not to judge them yet and i have to wait, i also know that the amp has all Chinese tubes and i have awesome American and British tubes made back in the day to roll soon.

i can hear the openness of the ribbon tweeters. there is a musical SQ that should get better in time. i am running my amp in triode mode and i get 8 watts per channel. that is plenty of power for these speakers in this small room. Soon i must hook up my turntable.

More to come.

Welcome to the forum!  Glad the speakers arrived in good condition!  Sorry about the lack of burn in, you are right in the commotion of having another grandchild by our daughter Sarah, who many of you know from talking to her on the phone, the speakers got less than 24 hours burn in.  It's completely my own fault, as I figured it would be better to get them out on time than to make you wait another few days.  

The reason the first hour was horrifying is because the speaker changed locations, humidity, temperature, and was at rest for many days during transit.  Even broken in it would sound pretty iffy for the first hour.

Please keep us posted.  It's amazing how many of these speakers we sell, yet almost no one is a poster in this forum so it's super great when someone like yourself will  document your results as you have.  Please continue as they season.

Thanks,

Steve

These speakers are so musical!

Thanks. Please tell me more about how you did change the caps? Same values, easy to install? Please send instructions.
