Thanks, RC. I am really enjoying them. I was reading the information sheet/owner's certificate and it mentioned that they are ready to go after only a few hours of play, so that will be welcome. New Dynaudios take a good 300-400 hours to run in, and they go through a phase of not sounding very good at all during that interval. So, this will be a welcome change.

I just noticed that the 30.2s, with their Silver Eucalyptus veneer, are "book-matched on all cabinet surfaces, so the grain of the wood on any panel are identical on the Left and Right speaker. A subtle but nice touch.

Stay tuned, more to come.
