Here is a post detailing my experiance of "speaker break in". from 1 1/2 years ago. As of now, I don't believe the speakers changed at all. You need to read to the end to understand whyFacts please, it is not a matter of opinion or finding a consensus. You can’t rely on your hearing with such things you have to measure and REW is easy and cheap to do.
However that doesn’t mean that something doesn’t gets broken and needs fixing or replacement.
Besides you will never find the optimum placement of sub, speakers and xover for your particular room without measuring. Simply too many possible combinations. And why save 100 bucks when you spent some 5000 on the KF92s or so alone.
(oh, and I have a better understanding of how expectation bias/confirmation bias works now )
Do Audio Speakers Break-in?
I sooo wish I had kept all the notes from college days when we did a bunch of experiments including on speaker break-in. Bottom line is it was easily measurable, practically never audible, and generally completed within seconds or minutes with a tail that might last for hours but wasn't worth...
