How long does it take your ears to burn in to new speakers?
Trying for 2 weeks to get used to my new speakers but the music is not touching my anymore.
I've used Dirac DSP program to change the frequency tonality and phase response of my speakers. I can switch it on and off with single remote button and there is almost no down time.
I've noticed, that when switching it on our off, the change always sounds weird, but I get used to it either way in about 10-15 seconds. I guess that's the brain burn-in for me with my gear.
I would advise to have old and new speakers side by side for comparison and preferably before purchase (usually OK when buying from hifi store). That way you can get more confidence in your decision.
I've also noted that in some strange way, a poorer performance speaker gives more exciting listening experience. With low distortion, high SPL speakers there is no "feeling of danger" albeit very good sound. You could have similar experiences.

To the original post. Just built your own speakers, preferably active. Then you'll measure and change the settings now and then, totally smoothing out any 'break-in' which might possibly occur
