Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”?
And you have to burn the cables in just right. Quantum right. I can't decide of the right word for that is "shameful" or "shameless." |
If I got this correct, this is a 70 Watt amplifier that produces frequencies up to 125 Hz only and costs $20 000. At the same time there are some 50KHz channels. Above link is in the running for the longest description on the shopping website. If you want to confuse your enemy, talk to him until she/he surrenders. All $20 000, that is. |
When it comes to cheaper modes of burn-in, I think it exists to some extent. I had speakers that did change over a week or two and I still believe it was real change. Speakers I got after them did not change at all. Maybe it depends on the actual product. I am on no side and cannot care less if burn-in exists or not, but those are my observations. Earphones definitely did change. |

How about the fact that there are a plethora of designs, incorporated in speaker systems(ie: domes, cones, ribbons, Mylar diaphragms, horns, two spiders, one spider, horn loaded, bass reflex, acoustic suspension, cloth or rubber surround, etc), each of which will make a difference in how long the suspension will take to loosen up. Then there’s the wide disparity in SPL levels, between different listeners. Less excursion has to result in longer break-in(or whatever your term). That’s just simple mechanics. Got a crossover? Anyone that’s been around electronics, should recognize how long capacitors take to form. The better the dielectric, the longer they take. And yeah; psycho-acoustic studies do indicate our brains compensate, over time, for what seems wrong. |
