Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”?

There are painfully few audio components, devices, wires etc that improve performance with use. A single wire is not directional in any way.
Electrostatic speaker diaphragms are heated to shrink them tight and they do loosen up a little with use improving the bass. Magnetic planars might do the same but I have not measured them so I could not say. Regular dynamic speakers do not require any "break in" The single most unpredictable and unmeasurable variable in the process is the human brain. A device which is more variable in operation than the weather and whose explanations of natural phenomena are frequently comically ornate. The real process is not break in it is accommodation.
In the mean while you guys are wasting perfectly good electrons discussing fiction. 

There’s one in every crowd. We call that an outlier. 😬

@mijostyn- You began your post, mentioning pain and ended with, "fiction". Those two words bracket, what they so aptly describe.

this should not be a question for anyone who has ever purchased new speakers and paid attention to them.
