I received these beasts in April. All I read about was the need for a very long break-in time so I threw them in a simple open baffle that matched the width of my Subwoofers (18"). I've been running the Fostex's full range with a low pass of 100 Hz to the Subwoofers. I was sure that this was a very less than ideal configuration, but it was a simple way to break in the drivers while still being able to listen. Performance has been what I expected (awful). Until last night! All I can say is that I am truly amazed at how dramatic the effect of break in has been. They have almost completely lost their "shoutiness" quality. I still plan on building a BLH or BIB but these things have REALLY opened up. I'm not using any BSC and they sound fantastic! So I reiterate for everyone using these drivers that you really need patience. Give em time!
