I'm also new at this Home Theater stuff, but seem to have gotten a pretty good handle on it. I have still yet to purchase my Axioms and look forward to the day. This subject got me thinking about 'burn-in.' Seems to me I recalled reading something in a review about speakers with metal drivers may need some 'burn-in' time to soften them up. I'm not sure how long that would take. I'm curious if anyone has noticed this with Axioms and if this may be part of what is troubling Newkid? Anyway just thought I'd throw it out there.
