You can crank that thing up the minute you get it hooked up and will not hurt a thing on the speaker, but I can't speak for the rest of the room though.

Congrats.

You're not going to hurt anything, except maybe your ears, just use the system the way you would normally right from the start, you won't notice any differences in SQ.

I have read in the past where a company measured speaker break-in, it does take place, but they also stated the amounts were negligible and not enough to be audible, which upholds my idea that if speaker break-in is enough to be audible, then the same amount of time later after the initial break-in process takes place, that speaker should be sounding terrible. So if a speaker has an audibly different sound after the first 50hrs, then after 100hrs it should be noticeably different yet again and so on. So after a few years of use, those speakers should be nearly worn out and not sounding anything like they did during the first year of use. I would hope most companies are not using products that degrade this quickly.

I found the breaking period was about 3-4 months. I started off at just over 70db, but am now listening at closer to 80db. Of course its my ears that are breaking in.

You're just starting to go deaf, still no break-in.

Speaker break-in for guitar amps seems to be a very real issue on the guitar forums. I don't know anything first hand.

The Rapture is a very real issue on many religious forums, too....

You don't believe in the Rapture?

Uh Oh.

I've seen the bird, I believe!!

The Raptures are playing the Cavaliers tonight.
