So, having spent a bit of time listening to my ESL Impressions 11A, I finally get around to reading the manual and discover that the "break-in" period for the speakers is stated at 72hrs @90db ("moderate listening levels"), moderate........really, is this right or even practical / achievable, I generally listen at 70-75db so getting to 90db seems wrong somehow but this seems to be needed to achieve the full throw of the base drivers and work out the panels?
Even though I live in a detached property 90db is clearly audible outside and I need ear defenders to get close inside, am I missing something?
I work in the construction industry and anything 80-85db hearing protection is advised and anything over 85db hearing protection is mandatory, be interested in others experience and whether break-in can be achieved any other way?
I have had them playing for two weeks non-stop albeit at relatively low levels (55-70db) so would this be sufficient
Any advice appreciated!
