Will do. I don't think a mechanical device like the GAIA has a break-in period, but I will learn more about them and let you know.
As far the Focal speakers, my local dealer says they need about 10 hours to break-in and stop being hot/bright. He also mentioned after about 100 hours they will settle down and sound the way they should.
The best thing for me is that I know what they should sound like, because my local dealer has the exact same pair in his room.
Here is an example of what the Focal Sopra 2s in walnut should look like. Very beautiful:
I fell in love with these Focal speakers. I compared them against the B&W 802D3s and of course the McIntosh XR100s. I also compared them against the KEF Reference series.
Anyway, I will get it setup tomorrow and hopefully be able to take some pictures!
