Like any mechanical system, a loudspeaker requires a “running-in” period to perform at its best. You will experience a gradual increase in sound quality during the first period of use. the break-in period will vary depending on use and playback volume. You should expect up to 100 hours of playback until maximum performance is reached. unlike other mechanical systems, the life-span of a loudspeaker is increased by normal, regular playback of music.

Where did I read that?

What in it makes sense, and how? Is it like running in a new car engine?

Gives the dealer a way to convince you to keep them while your ears adjust to the differences.

Otherwise, not so much.

I was in the user manual that accompanies a set of Dali Zensor 3 boxes. So it's likely not read until after sale, if at all.

I almost get the impression that the manufacturer believes it.

Or states it for the benefit of those who believe in it.
