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.

Agree!

Why worry about break-in? Just play them. It’s fun to hear them loosen up.

That being said, the only speakers I heard palpable change are my Tannoys. All other speakers I ’sorta’ heard a difference?

Tannoys with their hard surrounds are all over the place for at least a few months..100+ hours.
