Do speakers take time to warm up?

For example, if my stereo is on and has been on for weeks, and then I connect speakers that have been sitting idle for a few weeks, do the speakers sound better after an hour of being played?  Whats going on?  Is it the caps in the crossover, the drivers, the ferrofluid in the tweeters?  All of the above?

I experience the same, non scientific, thing. Speakers sound a bit better after a couple of songs are played. Even when the system has been on a while. 
The same with guitars. If a guitar hasn’t been played for a while, it takes a bit to open back up. 
Museums have musicians in to play the Stradivari violins. 
Instruments need to be played.
