Copy that! Or the cleaning lady...brrr![/quote]
Actually some of my friends without kids seem to be ADHDish and those cones look SO tactile!
[quote user="Damien Buckley"]I second it. Hey GSX, how long did your GS20's take to run in ... ?[/quote]
Mine are actually the GR (Gold Reference) 20 speakers, the predecessor of the current Gold Signature (GS) 20 speakers (you can still find these on the MA website under 'past products').
During the first two weeks I ran them non-stop and improvements were clearly noticeable. After that it became harder to actually notice improvements, but I'm pretty sure it has taken them the better part of two months to really blossom.
How I could tell? Well, in the beginning I really needed to use the supplied foam bungs to tune the bass ports (my speakers have two). But over time I've moved them to the other ports (with better results) and a month later or so I've removed the bungs all together.
At that point I've also repositioned them, as the turned out to be a bit less fussy about placement once the reached their true form.
[quote user="Damien Buckley"]... and what cables are you using?[/quote]
Actually I'm currently using some non-branded multi-strand OFC cable I got for free. I'm planning to upgrade (QED being on top of my list...), but I'm also contemplating a whole room re-arrangement and redecoration which I'll probably finish first...
