Test CD

Hello,
I prefer to use music to break speakers in.
Pink noise is great for analyzing but can be hard on the mechanics of the driver if they are too still out of the box and you push the noise a bit too hard.
Also, music breaks in the speakers to match your musical preferences.

I use the ayre disk...has track 4 that can get the junk movin...no music can do that...track 3 pink noise.

"Pink noise is great for analyzing but can be hard on the mechanics of the driver if they are too still out of the box and you push the noise a bit too hard.

I don't suppose that you could back either one of those 2 statements up with some info on why that's so?

"Also, music breaks in the speakers to match your musical preferences. "

So a speaker "broken in" on The Rolling Stones music is going to eventually sound different than speakers "broken in" on by Mozart? Really??

I at least agree with the idea of "breaking in" speakers using music but not because it will sound different than speakers "broken in" on pink noise, or pink floyd, or the female singer Pink. This whole "break in" ritual is yet another opportunity for audiophiles to over think and over complicate something that is relatively simple.

Enjoy listening to your speakers break in. I suspect there is a mechanical process at work during the break in process that changes the sound in subtle ways but I think there is an equally significant process at work where your ear and brain adjusts to and adapts to the sound.

Additionally, I am interested in those Accuphase test SACD(s) as well. Anyone here own those? Keep me posted and happy listening!
