Is it the beer or do speakers/electronics really need some extended warm-up period?

To me, one of life's best times are a cold beer and listening to good music.  I have noticed that the longer the listening/drinking session, the better the sound.  Is it the beer or do the electronics/mechanical components mellow out after some burn-in period?  Thought about listening with no beer, but that's not happening.

You have choices, you can settle in with inferior gear but you will need a case of beer each and every time to make it sound better or you can buy quality gear and dispense with the beer entirely. Either way it's going to cost you.

But kidding aside at least an hour warm up will start to bring out the beginnings of what will sound better and leaving it on over night (which I prefer) sounds the best in my opinion. At one point and a few years back I had some components that the longer they were left on the worse they sounded, no doubt a poor match for the speakers.
