rene and steve .. the wierd break in period was also pushed by parasound sales reps in the 90's .. so its not the 1st time a company has recommended it ..

and rene i agree yes pro amps sound alright on PA systems but for high quality imaging and reproduction you need a nice full amp.. low distortion and some decent headroom .. i personally like ATI .. they make many manufacturers amps .. they are the old sae .. very neutral and powerful ..
