I just found out that it will take them 20 to 50 hours for them to settle in and 100 hours to be fully broken in. So I guess I need to exercise a little patience. My GHH's took over 500 hours to be at their best. I don't know what it is about these full range drivers that make break in so long in duration.
 
"All the speakers have different tweeters. I wonder why??? " I think there are basically 2 types. the eminence pro style & the SEAS.
 
I asked the same question & never got an answer. The Lore S get their test run tomorrow but they'll be playing something most of the weekend to try to get some hours on them. I have no idea how long ot will take for the SEAS drivers to settle in. Maybe every set is different & there is no universal answer.

If you have the Lore S, the SEAS drivers will take a while especially the woofer. When they open up they won't be meh. Whether you like them or not is a different question.
 
Well, tomorrow is their debut. Like I said, they'll be running most of the weekend & most any time I'm home to try to get some hours into them. If we're talking "meh" a month or so from now, I'll be massively disappointed. I'm thinking that outcome highly unlikely tho. I'll confess to being pretty excited about hearing my new puppies sing.

If you've got a spare receiver laying around and can get them out of earshot for sleeping put them somewhere facing each other with blankets covering them wired out of phase from each other and set the volume as high as tolerable. You can pick a classic rock radio station and in about 3 days they should open up. They may change slightly after that for another hundred or so hours but not enough to change the basic signature.
 
I think I ran mine for around three days before I felt like I really liked them. They weren't running the whole time so I don't know how many hours it was. I've done the Fostex and Mark Audio 100s of hours break in regime before and these took wayyyy less time. If you don't like them after a week I doubt you will at all. The 30 day money back guarantee was what made me feel okay to try them out without listening to them first and give them time to settle to see if they really were keepers.

Thanks guys - maybe they'll go into the basement at night so they can run outside earshot. 3 days of run time (72 hours) isn't that big a deal. I'm taking tomorrow off so even without doing anything unusual, they should have about 1/2 that by weekends close.
 
I think I am going to stream audio into my M-Lores all day today and this weekend to kick start them. Hell, they are so new I can still smell the paint curing on them. I have high hopes. :thmbsp:
 
"FM static is said to be the best break-in source. " No! Really? With the trash on FM around here (with some exceptions) I'd rather listen to the static than the programming so this is good news :)

I got my M-Lores today. They came in great condition and unblemished. I have been playing them trying to break them in. About how long is the break in period on these?

My Lores sounded great right out of the box.. not sure I really noticed a real difference since. Most new speakers I have noticed a difference but not the Lores.
 
I think there great speakers but on there site I see soft dome, some type of metal and the pointed ring tweeters. How would they match in A home theater.

I sold a couple of TOL tuners for this very reason. Now I stream online...
