I can vouch for that comment. 80's scrapped from the v3 line, NOT the popular 20s,40s or 60s.
Surely by now someone has done an A/B comparison between v2 and v3 versions of the same speakers. I've heard a few good and bad reports about the v3's, but never anything head-to-head.I dunno - given the fact that the v.2 Studio's are reported as needing as much as 300 hours of break-in time before sounding 100% ok, I figure it'll be at least a couple of weeks before we start getting "real" reviews that we can use.

So put me in the camp that believes that speaker break in is very short (maybe an hour or so) and the rest of it is our adjustment to the new sound.I cannot quote on exactly how long it really takes, but I did notice a big improvment on my V2 100's after only 10 - 20 hours breakin. Not sure how much "more" of an improvment you get with more breaking you get, its too long after to make a real comparason. But I have a feeling for bass, it does take some time for the larger stiffer new rubber to break in and get to the point it needs to be in for optimal sound. This also goes for the newer poly midrange cones everyone is using now. Tweeters, probably not as much.
