Its very important to stay on with them when they start to sound poorly mid-way through the break-in period, because once you get past 300 hours, you will be REALLY happy. I've read of several owners that sold them during the uncomfortable-sounding period of mid-break in, and came to regret it later. So patience is key...



Regarding power: actually, what they need is current, not power, as they have very large, 3" voice coils. High quality, mid-power tube amps can swing large amounts of current when required for transients. I drive my big Dyn Contour S3.4s with a 70 WPC C-J LP70S very effectively.

Puma,

Thanks for the heads up on the break in behavior. I will wait till after break in period to decide on keeping the Hegel amp. [emoji106][emoji106]
