The other thing is that it is clearly changing in character as it breaks in. I've had it on for about 12-14 hours now, and it already sounds tighter and smoother.

Despite all the questions and complaints, I really am thrilled with my setup. Music sounds better than I've ever heard it sound before; it's a chore to tear myself away from it.
I believe there is a thread here about speaker break in. You might want to post a comment there. The changes you hear are something that some say don't exist. I agree with you about speaker break in. Many high end speaker manufacturers also believe in it and state that their speakers need break in. I don't blame you for enjoying your rig. Mine still gives me thrills every time I crank it up.
