Mark, by reason of your new boardname, you're entitled to a second welcome. Welcome, Mark. However, no sooner did you get rid of that highly offensive former title, than you try to make more trouble over speaker break-in!(just kidding). Analogies might make those changes seem plausible, but in reality they don't appear to exist. The slight measurable changes occurring in a relatively brief time after a speaker is first played wouldn't be of audible significance. Probably the most recent published study of this appeared in Audioholics and demonstrated that the slight permanent changes wouldn't be audible and would likely have happened at the factory anyway.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

My wife just threw this my way. In light of the fact that this thread has completely and utterly failed to do this, I think it's appropriate to post it here.

OK. I'll be a dick. Empirical evidence, if you will?

If you want a setup dedicated for 2Ch listening, you will need some full range floor standers. In this case the sky is the limit, but 3K to 5K is a decent budget.
Not to forget that it does not matter how much you spend on speakers if your HT/ listening room is not acoustically treated to give you as close to a flat FR as possible.

However, some would argue that a pair of bookshelves plus a decent sub would do a great job for 2 channel music system. Yet, some even say that you would need a sub even if you have floorstanders.
Do you mean 3k to 5K including the electronics, or just the speakers?
