Hi Avi,

Thanks for checking. Sounds to me like an intermittent connection between the tweeters and the crossover board.

Nothing to do with the Factory Outlet. It is only slight cosmetic blemishes on the exterior at final inspection that will move a model to the Outlet store. They are normally acoustically perfect and fully guaranteed.

You don't have to "break in" the new M80. If any break-in occurs, it happens in seconds. The notion of break-in is really a psycho-acoustical phenomenon, where your ears and brain adjust to the sound of new speakers in your particular room.

I'm delighted that you are receiving a new M80 and regret the problems you've had.

Regards,

Alan
