Speaker burn/break in benefits?


Hi! I recently purchased a pair of Triangle speakers. I'm quite happy with the way they sound, they're only 2 weeks old. I stumbled upon some info online that claims that these speakers need 200 hrs break in. I have experienced break in with my previous rega speakers, basically the tweeter mellowed down and gained more body. The frequency range had better integration too. My ears didn't adapt because this all happened while I was at work and they were playing inside my closet. I'd check at night for 1 hour and got a pretty good idea of their progress.

The three way Altea EX I just purchased have a completely different design and the crossover is more complex, I'm sure. The break in is bound to bring other benefits/changes. I really don't need the twitter to mellow out, I like it as it is. I don't need them to develop more bass either, they're awesome in my room with my electronics. I'm slightly worried that this time around the break in would have adverse effects. Any triangle users (or any other 3 way design) here that can chime in on the changes their speakers have gone through when breaking in? I don't mind subjective opinions, they are all valid.

I'm still in time to go to my dealer to swap them for the cometes. I considered buying those before but didn't because of an over excited top end and lack of body when reproducing strings, but perhaps this would change after the 200 hours? hahaha what a weird hobby.

Hi, thanks! Just a little question, how come you bought such expensive speakers if they sounded weird? Or did you audition a pair that was already broken in?
