I've got an ACI Sapphire III on a home trial right now for use as a center channel and really, really like it. It would be perfect if the tweeter was just a bit brighter and it was a little more efficient. Then it would mate with my main speakers (Old Infinity's with an EMIT tweeter).

The only other speakers I've identified that might fit the bill are the B&WCDM1SE and the KEF Q15. I know it's a long shot but has anyone compared these speakers with the Sapphires?

Also, is there any chance the Sapphire will become more efficient after it is fully broken in? I've got about 60 hours on it now but have heard that Kevlar drivers take a long time to loosen up.

Thanks in advance for your input.
