Can speakers sound worse during break-in period?


I purchased a NOS pr of speakers ( I’m not disclosing their name. Not interested in hearing from their haters) and was really liking them before I started to seriously break them in. It seems like after 24 hours they seem to have changed and sound worse, or not as good as they did. Are they just going through changes with some drivers opening up faster than the others? I know there are many components involved in this process and some might be a head of the others. I’m assuming that’s the case and when everything comes together they will sing.

If you check with the manufacturer, you will get the answer to your question.  Typically, Magnepan tells customers that there will be a period of adjustment as the mylar does experience come changes from new.

Why is this an issue I can't understand as every manufactured physical and electronic item in the world changes with use and time.  I know the wonderful 327 in my C2, which is 53 years old, is not performing identically to its first day on the road.  For this, I am thankful, by the way.

Your manufacturer will be pleased to discuss this with you, I am sure.

Cheers!
