Wait until you break your teeth biting into one of those raw filters and you'll see what a joke it is!Is this a joke lol

Would you say warm up instead? I‘m not a native speaker (Lol)."Burn in"?
It is just one of those audiophile myths that gear need "burn in" for days, months or weeks before they sound right. Finding out issues is one thing, expecting it to have audible effects is a different thing. Speakers are, as usual, a special exception.Would you say warm up instead? I‘m not a native speaker (Lol).
But serious. I always have my new gear running uniterrupted for some days so I see if there might be an issue with power supply or something else. If they stand this test I use them in normal operation.
I called it „Burn in“. Seams something was wrong with my wording
They are, in that some of them do show some measurable change after initial wear-in.They are?
The only gear I m aware of needing burn in time are my ears….sometimesThey are?

I'll be damned. I didn't know that! Which ones, and how much and how long did it take? Do you have any specifics and measurements?
Driver break-in is a controversial subject here for some reason. Although it's true the end product speaker doesn't change much.
Generally not much, but there are sometimes small changes, so I mentioned them as an exception just so nobody could say "not true, speakers can show a break-in effect".Driver break-in is a controversial subject here for some reason. Although it's true the end product speaker doesn't change much.
I guess it is also the engineer/scientist in me that feels to point out the existence of rare corner cases - just in case.Don't be afraid of what people could say.
I design speakers sometimes, and I've talked to driver manufacturers, so I had to read that thread sort of rolling my eyes..I guess it is also the engineer/scientist in me that feels to point out the existence of rare corner cases - just in case.
I always understood that it was the surrounds getting more pliable, but I change speakers maybe every 15 years, so don't think about it much.Driver break-in is a controversial subject here for some reason. Although it's true the end product speaker doesn't change much.
From my discussions with Ken Kantor, the spider is the main culprit. It has a tough job keeping the coil centered, yet allowing extensive travel. Some materials used are quite stiff from the factory and soften with use, and some even "re-stiffen" briefly if the driver sits idle. But as I said, if you go through the analysis in a cabinet, the Fs and Qm lowering and the Vas getting bigger tend to cancel.I always understood that it was the surrounds getting more pliable, but I change speakers maybe every 15 years, so don't think about it much.
I have a solution for you.From my discussions with Ken Kantor, the spider is the main culprit.
Have you compared with other kinds of classD designs, or is it this the first experience?Like to report first listening expressions with RME ADI-2 Pro FS plus Rouge Audio NCx500.
Visited fried of mine who is a long year fan of AVM electronics currently running AVM Evolution CS 5.3.
He had to admit that the combo with ADI-2 and NCx500 far outperforms his AVM amp. Anything is more realistic and much cleaner. The AVM is in comparison a lot blurred hiding the so called „details“ that audiophile like so much.
He asked me to leave both components at his house as he plans to sell this AVM. Convincing such a long term AVM fan is a big compliment I guess.

Edit:
Trying to find the right words to describe the sound...
I would say It sounds clean, crisp and clear with a very good bass definition.
Speakers were: Q Acoustics, don't know which model.
