New speaker question

[Chuck Summers]

I just got a new pair of Definitive tech BP 920 speakers, They sound pretty good but still have alot of break in to go, I was wondering if anyone out there had a pair, and if after break in, if they sound got even better. Than ks

Never owned those, but I do have a pair of BP2006s and BP7006s. Neither required any long break in and both sound great.

Thanks I think with my day off tomorrow I can work them out some if the wife lets me have the day off that is.

In my experience most speakers need at least 80 to 100 hours of break in to reach full potential.

As one who has refoamed and recapped loads of speakers I'll tell you. The difference will be subtle and probably the only way you will be able to tell the difference would be to do a side by side with a pair that have never been played.
Modern speaker surrounds appear to be of a better compound than ones like Infinity, Polk, Boston, etc. that literally self destructed right before your eyes. Vintage audio is like hotcakes right now. Don't baby your new speakers, but also don't beat them for awhile. Just get the surrounds exercised moderately and you'll be golden.
