Dave,i have to tell you,your break in time is far less enough.
I have two real examples for you,one of my friend bought a pair of SPENDOR SP100,in order to run in,he let the speaker continuously work for 24 hours with an AV amp,face to face,covered with quilt to prevent noise for several month,but he burnout one tweetfinally when he replace both tweets,he found after run in,the SP100 is another one
Another friend of mine also had a pair of SP100,after 3 years listening,he sold his SP100 to a man who using 7 SP100 as hometheater,the man said to him,his SP100 did not run in yet after 3 years,the SP100 still did not run in.

I heard the S4700 at the Arken-exibition in Gothenburg, Sweden last september. It was absolutely fantastic! Very high volume, with Mark Levinsson gear. It opened up my eyes for JBL again. I had the TiK-series some years ago.
That live-feeling/dynamics to die for
I'm under the impression that the 2216Nd type of driver is the future and the fifty pound AlNiCo drivers are not (providing neo stabilizes in price).
And I think I prefer the 1501AL-1 as opposed to the 1501AL-2. The -1 is remarkably similar to the old 136/2231 with the very low Qts and Fs, coupled with the high compliance. It would be nice to see an 8 ohm version of the 1501AL-1 coupled with the cloth surround of the 1501AL-2. I don't ask for much do I.
Throw in the Alnico 12 with the 4 inch VC for me.
Vertical horn kind of guy
Even if I connect one Crown MAi5000, it will still sound as a S4700, it's all about the right amount of power. It will not work like a PA box or sound like a PA box because I connect it to a Crown MAi5000. You are missing the point here. Still, room acoustics play's a major role here if a loudspeaker sounds good or not.
