Speaker Break In ?


My question is regarding the breaking in of new speakers. How much is achieved when you leave the amp on and the cd player continually repeating a cd at low volume levels when you are not listening to the system. I have left my system on for about 200 hours in a very low volume (almost no volume) playing mode and was debating whether I should do it for another few weeks. Will this break in the speakers or does the volume have to be up to achieve that? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You should play at loud levels if possible. Make sure there is no "clipping". Normal listening levels will be ok due to necessity, but low listening levels will likely take months to acheive full break in. Rock music is the best.

Also, if you have to keep a reasonable noise level, you can have the speakers face each other and have one of the speakers wired out of phase. This will (amazingly) almost cancel the sound. Then you can throw a comforter over both speakers to further dampen the sounds.
