Well if nothing else, Kaz, you have both sides of this issue covered. I don't agree with the 'anonymous" posts, but they have every right to express their opinions. I think if you check some of the other posts, you can tell that Ian also believes in a break in period of a few hours.
The comment that these are simply speakers is wrong. They are actually electrical motors: they move the cones in and out based on electrical signals following electro magnetic principles. Materials used in them does require time to loose some of the properties imposed upon it by manufacturing. In your case these have had no real use for sometime, and things can and will deteriorate.
I think the attack on my post missed my opening ( it is a debated issue in hifi for some time.) and qualifying the comments (in my opinion).
My background is such that I have spent considerable time working, playing and enjoying this industry. I think if you read some of my other posts, you will see were I am coming from.
So the answer seems to be an unqualified ........
