Not sure how long it be until Spires are broken in? Been playing them about 6 hours or more per day ( about 70 hours so far ) Just past 1 week old.
Been trying both 8 ohm and 4 ohm taps on my McIntosh MC302 power amplifier. When on 8 ohms bass seems better but highs bright and hard. On 4 ohm tap highs not so bright but bass is not as dynamic or deep.
Maybe I am being too impatient? Should be as I been working in audio industry for over 25 years. Just frustrating right now (((
Also put speakers back to 5 ft position from back wall for now as this is what is recommended. Do not understand why in my room seems more dynamic bass and openess at 7.5 ft, math wise - does not make sense?
Guess for moment not happy camper when Ethos sounded better with same placement.
btw sitting about 6-7 ft away from speakers
Will not have guys from work come over and hear speakers when I not yet happy with sound.
