Hi everyone,
My first post so please forgive me if this question has been asked before or should be appended to another. But here is the question(s).
I have been running a pair of Focal Utopia Diablos for several weeks and on some music they sound ok while on others they sound decidedly tinny. I have heard that they can take up to 700 hours to "burn in" and I wonder what the current thinking is on this. 30 odd years ago there was no such concept as a "burn in" period, so where has this suddenly sprung from?
Also, I am driving the speakers with a Accuphase E450. It makes all other speakers I've tried on it sound great, but maybe it just doesn't match the Diablos. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Front end is a Bluesound Node.
Thanks for all the help, advice and comments you are able to share.
