Rebulx, you're right. You, me, and Kodiak not seeing the problem adds up to an odd 3.

Don't know if this has come up yet, didn't find it. I'm waiting for the delivery any day now but would like to know, does the 5HP require a break in period? Some speaker manufacturers recommend long break in periods. Does that apply to Axiom?

My experience with three sets of M5 bookshelves and one on-wall is that 30 hours of break-in is needed for the woofer and mid-woofer to blend properly. One of those pairs of bookshelves was broken in when I got it. I maintain someone at Axiom threw a party with them. I'm happy about that because I like my gear burned in before I get it.
I've said before, I have no idea what exactly is breaking in. You may hear a vast improvement before the 30-hour timeframe.

I haven't fully bought into the break-in theory. I've always thought that what was breaking in was your ears unlearning what you had and becoming more attuned to the nuances of the new speakers. I won't say I won't change my mind, but I'm skeptical thus far. As someone said on another thread, I'd love to hear from the pros in the guise of Andrew and his vignettes.

The pros say there's no damned thing as the break-in I just described. My ears weren't breaking in because I wasn't home that weekend. I just let them play. And as I said, one pair was already broken in.
I always thought that was nonsense not because gear doesn't break in but because I thought no one could hear it. I also thought cable differences couldn't be heard. I was wrong on both counts.
