I am writing this review for all of the new CS-2 owners . I received my pair of
Emerald Physics CS-2's may 27, 08 and they were good, but I knew they needed
time to break-in properly. For the first three months I counted the hours I played them. At 250 hours the sound of the music was starting to move away from the speaker and the bass got tighter, at the 500 hour mark the mids/highs started
showing off the extraordinary imaging and focusing that I knew the speaker were
capable of. After about 700 hours the transparency of the speakers while playing
music was just mind-blowing. I also watch movies using the CS-2's and I love the
tight bass and the magical high/mid with movie soundtracks. Because of it's
transparency I can hear micro details in music and movies soundtracks more that ever before. I stopped counting after the 700 hour mark, because I believe that the
break-in was over, but boy was I wrong! The CS-2's just keep on amazing me with
there performance, they keep getting better in all the way that count, bass, mid-bass, treble, transparency, focus, and soundstage. Clayton Shaw has given the
world an audio gift with the Emerald Physics CS-2 speakers and that is no joke. I wonder how long will they continue to change?
