Agree, difference in performance after break in is minimal and often overblown here by folks experiencing buyers remorse and/or their ears adjusting to a component change. Most significant change happens within 50 hours, after that minimal improvement. When I play golf I like to walk the course. It takes longer and requires more effort but I get to experience the way the course unfolds as I get closer to my ball. Same here—enjoy the slight incremental improvements that break in can bring and get to know your speakers the way you watch a child grow into an adult. As is often said here—enjoy the journey!
Break In Failed
There is a new set of speakers on the way and after looking for tips on speaker break in, the topic hits left me smirking.
Good advice like face the speakers and wire one out of phase, use heavy blankets and leave on 24-7 for weeks.
The amusing part was exercising them at ~90dB for excursion during away hours. My current speakers have seen that level in my apartment for maybe an hour in the years since owning them. Did I fail at break in protocol?
I anticipate feedback recommendations of connect and enjoy the music after leaving them on for a couple of weeks at my normal listening levels, which has served me well in the past.
