System Goals/Comments:	I had Magnepan 3.7is and have just upgraded to Mag 20.7s. Happy that I did and now going through burn in (as of 24 September, 2020) Even with Mags tweeters placed in I still get exceptional sound off axis and approximately 22'(!) to one of my listening positions Burn in of my original Mag 3.7is was very long, maybe 250-300 hours and right now my new 20.7s are sounding great after only about 70 hours.
