As JohnK mentioned, someone must have tested this out before. I would be shocked if speaker companies have not done some 'break in' testing since it is a real buzzword in the world of audio.

I just saw a customer comment the other day, on a company website, regarding his high end interconnect cables and how he talked about their 'break in' after 200h, 500h and so on. Apparently he heard quite precise changes in the mids, highs, etc. after 200h but that the real smoothness never really came about until the 500h mark. Then he went on to mention how he was using a 1500w home baseboard heater to do the break in.
One can only begin to wonder...

I completely agree with Danr on the brain perception concept.
Blind testing. It's about the best option the industry has to find out the truth.
