@warrenpchi and I found that 200 hours of pink-noise was the magic number for breaking-in our LCD-Xs & LCD-XCs - so I expect Everything to keep changing for awhile!!
@mikemercer My earlier comment was actually re-enforcing this, why don't the manufacturers have this burn-in process built into their product delivery system. They surely want the end user to like and hear the headphones at the optimal (and hopefully stable) state.
like a set of Magnepan 3.6s compared to the best Martin Logans - The Logans may do nearly everything better "technically" but the Magnepans paint a more holographic and enveloping sonic image...
I hear you there. Though I found that you had to get to double the price before they even were "technically" better. Mostly due to integration issues between the stat and regular driver. It seemed like you had to get to a much bigger and more full range stat before they stopped having blending issues. Also, I want the 20.7s (and the new house that I'd need to be able to have a living room large enough for them.)
