I've only had one pair of loudspeakers that changed dramatically after a short break-in. Everything needs some burning in but mechanical drivers used in loudspeakers get to one-million cycles pretty quick. Hook them up and enjoy.
Speaker Break-in
A search brings up lots of good, past discussion on this subject, so I have a good idea how to go about this. I have new speakers coming next, the manufacturer says this: "You shouldn't need a break in period the surrounds are already very compliant," In turn, the dealer says this: "Yes, just about every speaker needs break-in, less so than other models as they don’t feature internal amplification, but they’ll still benefit from a couple hundred hours of break in"
Speakers are Legacy Signature Se...Any thoughts?

@russ69 - Sounds good, thx! @arcticdeth - lol! @hilde45 - OK, I see if I can dig out some of my old Motown CDs! |
I received my new NSMT model 75 Loudspeakers three weeks ago. I did not notice a significant sonic change from out-of-the-box to 100 hours, where I am now. The manufacturer advised a 200 hour break-in; and not to play at high volume during the breakin. Also vary the listening volume. You got great advice from Legacy and your dealer. Enjoy! |
One great way to break in a pair of speakers is to play Ayre's Irrational but Efficacious! System Enhancement Disc. It consists of short and long glide tones, white, pink, brown noise, mono brown noise, and out of phase brown noise. Be mindful of the volume as you'll see your mid and bass drivers dance about.
All the best, |
