Default Consider me a Magnepan Owner - question about break-in

I made the decision to buy the pair of Magnepan 1.7i speakers that a friend of mine bought and had me store and break in for him. He's not due to finish his basement until the end of the year. It's been in my music room since he took delivery of it. The 1.7i will be my second set of speakers in addition to my Vandersteen Quatro Wood CTs.

I have the 1.7i in my system this week continuing to break them in. A question I have for existing owners is how long do Maggies take to completely settle in, especially in the bass end of the spectrum? I don't expect the 1.7i to generate a lot of sub bass tones, so I'm going to use my Velodyne DD-12 sub I've had for almost ten years to supplement. I just want to listen until the 1.7i has settled in before adding the DD-12 and adjusting the sub's equalization.
