Breaking in new speakers

Hi,

I am soliciting some recommendations on breaking in new speakers. Any suggestions for the fastest way to get the speakers to "loosen" up and sound the way that they should. Are there any specific software for playback effectively optimized for this other than playing them over loudly for 150 hours or so.

Thanks!

I burned up two tweeters and a midrange driver breaking a pair of Thiel CS3.6's in while playing them out of phase and face-to-face. The crossover boards got so hot I could feel the heat right through the rear 1" MDF layer. So I say screw the quick and dirty method.

My advice, just be patient and use regular music playback.
