Hya. I have just recieved my m-s system. Mezzo 8 & sub rather than 6. Do they improve with run-in? Wow what an improvement. Pix & comments later after some tweaking. Suggest pulling sofa away from wall a few cms. May experiment with room acoustics too. Does the center need room to breath? Mine is in a cabinet.Cheers.
Hiya, Robin,
First of all - congrats. on your new speaker system :cheers: That is a massive sound you`ve acquired ... From what I can see on the photos you`ve got enough room between the fronts - which is very important for the stereo , indeed... But you would have to pull them away from the walls , that`s for sure - fronts, and rears too... They sound much better if you give them at least 50 cm from the wall ... You`ll notice that right away with the fronts, not so much with the rears as in your case they`ll be satellites ( Mezzo 1 , right ? ) .
As for the center speaker - as you can see the box is closed - so normally it shouldn`t be a problem placing in the cabinet, but with the Mezzo 5 , still having that Aspirated Tweeter....well I don`t know. I`ve never experimented with mine, but to me, that tweeter needs as much air as possible to breathe ... Then you get that open and clear sound out of it ... But I might be wrong, give it a try...
About the run-in. Yes, my Mezzo 6 did improve after a while , the sound overall became much smoother and and easy on the ear - with one word " polished " But I didn`t do the 72 hours ( facing-each-other-from-close-distance ) run-in as the booklet suggest. I was just leaving the stereo ON ( using Repeat mode ) while I was working for about a week ... But the real improvement was when I hooked them up to the Leema Pulse Amp - I was blown away , literally ...
I am very curious about the Mezzo 9 ? It will be interesting to hear you thoughts on it ,after a while of course
