Speaker Break-in


A search brings up lots of good, past discussion on this subject, so I have a good idea how to go about this. I have new speakers coming next, the manufacturer says this: "You shouldn't need a break in period the surrounds are already very compliant," In turn, the dealer says this: "Yes, just about every speaker needs break-in, less so than other models as they don’t feature internal amplification, but they’ll still benefit from a couple hundred hours of break in" 

Speakers are Legacy Signature Se...Any thoughts?

My Vandersteen 3's improved significantly after 150 hours of break-in, didn't listen in between...have bought very few new speakers, so no other recent experiences...

ZU speakers burn their product for 200+ hours at the factory before you even see them. They still need a little burning, but they were fantastic when I got them.

I've had speakers that sounded really good after just a few days of break-in time. I've also got a pair of great sounding Fritz speakers, and those took about 250 hours or so before the various frequencies started sounding like they'd met each other.
