Had a quick dalliance with TQ UB Steves wiring seems to shade it giving a more even, open presentation....

Ali, Sound wise Its early days but from memory the they have a similar presentation to your OBs, the separation and subtlety is similar. Im going to need some hours on them to settle down and a bit of help from the usual suspects to optimise positioning. When I think they are ready a bit of objective help from the troops is in order. Sorry I missed the last get together-was keen to hear some JM on vinyl!!! Aye, they are great drivers, and will get better over time. I'll make sure I have the JM next time! |

How long does it take for the Alpair7 drivers to bed in?
I've never heard any that have had 1000 or so hours on them.
I've obviously heard Alpair7s around at Colin's place, but they've never had proper hours on them.

I am not sure with the 7 but my friends 12 took about 1000 hours to fully sound at their best

Yes go onto the Hawthorne forums and the designer will agree with me. The major break in is in the first few hours but they get even better over time.

Really nice speakers Tony, look forward to hearing them soon. Bit of a change looks wise in the man cave? Nice! John Martin is ready and waiting for next time...  Speaker run in time? Had my Edingdale speakers for just over a year now and recently Brian and I both noticed that the speakers had really opened up. Can take a while, if they sound great just now your in for a treat as time goes on. |

Although not to my taste (although SWMBO would probably like them) they look superbly finished.
