Default Just took delivery of my new Sashas!

Hi all,

Yesterday I became the proud owner of a pair of Macadamia Sashas and they are now breaking in as I write this.

I'm wondering what sonic changes owners have experienced with break in?

Tweeter sounded good out of the box, but bass is a little smeared...

Thanks!

MadFloyd.......Congratulations on a very fine pair of speakers. In a couple hundred hours you will understand the break in changes completely.

What electronics are you using?
