Speaker break in?


Does anyone know what the break in process is all about? Myth or fact? What is being broken in? Is there an optimum break in time? Low volume or high volume? I would appreciate feedback. My Revels (M20s) did sound better after a period of time. Why? The M20s sounded so much better than my previous speakers; I'm not sure if they were getting better or I'm just hearing more. Anyone with first hand experience? Set me free Audiogoners...
thanks in advance,

Thanks for the feedback guys. Whether it be interconncects, cables, power cords, speakers and all the other stuff: obviously, there does not appear to be any scientific explanation as to why this breakin process seems to work. Whether it's a placebic effect or not; there seems to be a postive correlation to "breakin." (placebo effect, by the way, in the pharmaceutical/scientific field, is very real and valid/justified) To this day, scientists are not quite sure why aspirin, and other drugs exactly work. But, when I have a headache I take two and I would tell you to do the same. If breakin works for you, it might work for me, and vicer/versa.
happy listening you audiophools.
