I know I'm not writing much about the new R1s with the exception of a few sentences here and there. The answer is very simple; they are still maturing and have about 240-ish hours on them. Unlike many times in the past, after the initial week or so where I did near round the clock staggered break-in, now I am only able to run them about 8 or 9 hour per day. The side benefits of this seem to be three-fold;
- crossover electronic components get run-up aggressively and sustain new peaks each day for a solid 8-9 hours after which they are able to ramp down and then repeat next day... - I am getting to hear much more clearly how each 8-hour day matters to these speakers and most days, hear subtle and not so subtle improvements coming out... - these speakers are so amazing to me in what they are doing out of the gate and with this gradual buildup that I'm spending alot more time listening and reflecting on what I'm hearing each day than I am posting about it...this is FUN!!! Suffice it to say, they are fantastic, world-class speakers and I'm very grateful to have them..... More later,... |

TAD R1s just crossed 300 hours,...the gold standard for Wagner's The Ring (IMHO) is on from Disc1 (and I will finish it in the days ahead); I've never heard it so completely and beautifully(!);
