Speaker break in is correlated to how many hours you spend in the listening chair. As you sink in your chair over the hours waiting for the drivers to come of age, you will fall slightly below the initial elevation of listening axis. This is called SLOUCH EFFECT. Thus, as the speaker becomes relatively taller to your ears, you feel the sound improves. It’s properly known as SPEAKASS BREAK IN. So, in actuality, it’s your listening chair that breaks in, not the speakers. ;)
Speaker Break-In - What Physically Changes During Break-In To Enable Better Sound?
All,
Have seen people and manufacturers mention that speakers need to be played for a while to break-in / open up. Would like to know what physically happens to the speaker components to enable better sound during the break-in period. Please share your wisdom on this.
Thanks!
