The surrounds themselve to "move" and they do "wear" I don't care what you believe about it. Is it a known fact rubber surrounds last longer than foam ones. That is why so few good speakers are made with foam surrounds. Anything that flexes like that does change. Like crumbling a piece of paper, surely it wears as well and how many moving pieces does it possess? Why then do all the reviewers say speakers they test sound better after so many hours? I would think their ears are much more acute to differences in the tonal changes that occur, than you or me. They do listen to speakers for a living.
