The proverbial 40-60 hours.
D-Sonic m3a-600m Mono > McIntosh MC152 > Primaluna ProLogue Premium Preamp > Oppo UDP205 > Decware ZLC > Triton Reference > Isoacoustics Gaia 2 > Canare 4S11 Speaker Cables > Audience Forte 3, Anticable L3 & Shunyata Venom PC's

Every great performance deserves an Audience!

I have put 30hrs on my new 7's and they don't have that clarity [yet] I have read about from all the reviews.

Setup and associated equipment will have a lot more to do with sound quality than break-in. Typical break-in results in more output, especially at low frequencies, and some "softening" or "smoothing" of the overall sound, especially in the midrange, and more open and airy in the high frequencies.

Perhaps you could give the forum members some idea of your associated equipment and speaker setup, maybe we'll have some thoughts for you.

Bill:

You have some nice equipment. Went online and looked at the Odyssey Stratos, looks like a winner. Generally when things don't sound right it can be traced back to improper speaker spacing and toe-in. Experimentation and patience is the key.
