Description

Actually i was having fun with some home depot plumbing terminations and out came these "milk churns". my wife thinks they look like .45 rounds. i swear the music got a little sweeter after they went in. either way i like how odd they are, so they stay. addition of a parametric equalizer taming about 5 room nodes didnt hurt either

Hi Senna74,
Yes the milleniums do take a while to break in. I've experienced this with a pair of the Linbrook monitors and now also with my Ref IIIs (I ordered the millenium tweeter to replace the standard revelator). After they're finally broken in, they sound excellent with no sibilance, excellent snap and decay characteristics, and gobs of soundstaging. You're getting close though - 200 hours is close to what I put on my Linbrooks before they finally blossomed.
