Speaker Breakin Techniques

Over the decades there have been many (to say the least) loudspeaker burn-in tests. Some were measurement tests and the others were listener tests.
In the listener tests, they would start with a matched pair of loudspeakers. Then put one in storage and burn-in the other. And you guessed it, they then still sounded the same.
 
I discovered a new technique.

Just play Marcus Miller M Squared over and over for a while :)

I know I have hours to go, but I put this Marcus disk on at a decent volume and you could hear changes by the end of the disk.

I have played mostly Bass heavy music so far and can seriously hear changes already. 500 hours does seem a bit excessive but if using Krall or Jones, yeah I can see it take half a lifetime to break em in.

I will say, it will take hours to get used to these speakers as they are so different than anything I have owned before. I think that is where the 500 hours is really needed, the bass is tightening up a bit only after 25 hours.
