Hello. I recently purchased a Polk cs10 center channel to compliment my tsi100 fronts. It sounds pretty good, but I know that speakers need some time to "break-in" before they really sound their best. I was wondering what was the break-in period for the cs10? Thanks :-)

P.S. don't know if this is the rite category to post this on, if not please let me know....still new to this :-)

    There is no set amount of time for break-in. Just listen and enjoy, it happens slowly over time and you may not even notice.

    Don't worry about it. Like tonyb said, just listen and enjoy.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    There's no such thing as break in as far as being able to hear a noticeable difference anyway. Professional engineers have done tests and found no significant difference between a new and "broke in" speaker. Not any the the human ear would hear anyway.

    I am glad I am a amatuer so that I can hear the speaker improve as it breaks in. Aflack.

    Why, that's just daffy.

    I agree. I've had my cs10 for a few months now...and it sounds better each time its used...bass is more profound and present, mids and highs also improved..I'm a believer in speaker break-in lol.
