I like The Tubes.
Personally, I would say speakers are in a constant state of break-in as the moving parts start to wear ever so subtly, but it is not enough wear to be noticed, kind of like the wear going on in your cars driveline, you don't notice it till one of the components breaks.

Make sure you pre-heat your tubes for 20 minutes in a 150°F oven.

Speaking of break in, I noticed that the goofy thin yellow shady maple golden helix speaker wire mentioned in the static surround thread had a quote at the bottom their product page that said:
WARNING: DO NOT USE ANY BREAK-IN DEVICES OF ANY KIND ON OUR WIRES! They will seriously degrade the sound. Use only music to break in our cables.

Thanks to Dr. House, for noting AXIOM's position on this.
As for the majority of the responses, if you don't have a useful or entertaining response to a post, why post at all?

Generally speaking, the original question gets answered somewhere in the thread though...

Another break-in thread, why don't people search...no there is no breakin, contrary to what some will tell you readmc. However, your brain does break in. I sympathize with SirQs frustration, having been here way too long perhaps, but i have to say, the 'new' iteration of the search engine really sucks. The old one was far better. I tried the Google one that Peter setup but i haven't found it to be that accurate which is somewhat surprising for Google.

I think some of the older posts have gone the way of the dodo. Not certain, though, but that would explain why neither search appears to work well.
Right, let's bring power conditioning into this as well. I plugged my TV into a UPS, and now the TV speakers sound better than the crummy crossovers in my Axioms!
