Moon I-3 and Totem Forest?

Sorry, let me clarify: to break it in you'd want ot keep it playing so that a whisper of sound is coming out of your speakers. From what I understand the sound level isn't an issue, but it can't be on mute. (I wrote the other post in a rush, so it wasn't that helpful)

I understand, you mean for the break-in of the I-3 and the Equinox. But for the Forests a little loud level is better i think. Am i right?

Ah, I didn't realize you were still breaking in your Forests as well. You don't need to play them at excessive levels to break them in, but you will need something above a whisper. I don't know if this is an option, but you can leave them playing during the day if no one is home. Good luck!

There's also a speaker break-in trick. Connect your Forests out of phase (so, reverse the leads going to ONE of the speakers), place them face-to-face right up against each other (as close as possible) and play a mono recording or throw the mono switch if there is one on your preamp. You can turn it up very loud and you'll barely hear a peep. Just be careful not to turn it up so loud you damage the speakers.

Simaudio answer this: We recommend 300 hours of playing time to properly break-in the i-3 and
Equinox. This will realize the full sonic potential of each. The
break-in can be done continuously, or little at a time; it will make no
difference in the end, as long as 300 hours are accumulated.

So i brok the woofers of my forests for the third time now because i played them to loud. The woofer are made by Hi-Vi RESEARCH and the model is D6.8 => 77.92$cad or 64.94$us each. I think they are verry fragiles, any way it's on warranty but my dealer will become crazy. I think my I-3 is not enoung powerfull for the Forests and at a loud volume it send AC current in the Speaker and brok it. Now i am tired to go to my dealer, i will never play them loud again. Thanks for your answers.
