Personally, I believe that speaker break in is real. That said I don't think it is what many manufacturers state it is. In many cases they simply exaggerate the period of time required as to allow for the buyer to get accustomed to the sound. Some will use it to quell returns to a point beyond their trial period. I believe the actual break-in period is relatively short and based on driver size and material makeup. In most cases minutes and not the many hours often said to be needed. Another of the many audiophile arguments that will likely never be decided. Much like that of the need for speaker cables costing thousands of dollars. A can of worms for sure.
