Burn-in
Essence Bookshelf loudspeakers are factory burned-in for at least 160 hours, while
this is not full burn-in it gets them well on their way and conditions them to
sound awesome within a week or two. Nevertheless, If at first you find Essence
Bookshelf restrained and a bit conservative, especially if they were shipped in the
winter months, relax, they will come around.... As they play they will open up
and transform from reserved to engaging. If you have questions on burn-in please
see our FAQ section.
