We're good at hijacks around here. In fact, we've turned it into an artform, although I generally prefer impressionist paintings. LOL

I was trying to figure out who the hijacker was. If it was me I thought I was asking a question about break in period dealing with changing sound. I guess your original question was about speaker break in referring to speaker damage. Sorry.

This issue of speaker break-in has been discussed over and over, and the general consensus is that it makes no difference.
Here's a quote from the owners manual for the Energy Reference Connoisseur line of speakers:
BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
"It is VITAL that your new Reference Connoisseur speakers be allowed to break-in
properly before you perform any precise set up procedures, system adjustments, and
before you play them at higher volume levels. The best method of performing the
break-in is to play a full range musical passage at a moderate level as long as
possible. Utilizing the repeat function on your CD or DVD player can assist greatly.
Optimum sound will not be achieved until approximately 100 hours of playing time.
After break-in, the volume level can be increased. Do not play the speakers at high
levels until the break-in process has been completed. The transducers need to
“loosen up”, and until this occurs, damage can result to the transducers."
Maybe it makes no difference, but hey, can't hurt!

If it gives you a peace of mind Sweet then by all means do it.
It's no use carrying an umbrella, if your shoes are leaking.

If it gives you a peace of mind Sweet then by all means do it. Highly agree, it really does come down to your own personal interests in the subject. Like you said if it will ease the owner's mind then he/she should break them in.

Is that a synopsis on speaker break-in/burn-in or on how to waste electricity? Thanks for that 1sweetspot. That went down great with a glass of gin. 
I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.
