The top audiophiles recommend that you actually "break them in" which can be done 2 ways that I\'ve heard of:
1) Listen to above avg volume, almost to the point of "loud" several periods a day for about a month.
2) Try setting your receiver\'s volume at reference level (75dB) whenever you watch movies. Do this for the first 1-2 weeks within owning your new speakers.
It\'s been a while since I got some info on this, I could be grossly wrong. You could always make a post @ HTF for the best answers....
