don't listen to all those "know it all" people...
of course you need to burn-in new speakers!
when your amp sends something to those costly new speakers, any kind of signal, music or a movie, as soon as the speaker has reproduced some sound for a fraction of a second, it's done.
if you do it for a longer time than this, then you're an "audiophile".
audiophiles are a very funny bunch sometimes, like the guy who said that when he got his costly new amp during the winter, he let it stand at room temp for 2 weeks in order to get it stabilized. apparently he forgot to think that when he started using the amp, it would warm up to a temperature higher than the room's temp and thus the amp would be destabilized.

Maybe slowly warm it up for a week under an adjustable heat lamp every time he turns it on? Then do the same thing in reverse after powering off?

I would just bang it with a hammer a few times to get the oops, dropped it on the floor, part out of the way.

A speaker that has been sitting in a truck in the dead of winter could definitely sound different than one that has been set up at room temp.
Even the T/S parameters of your drivers can change during daily use of your speakers as the voice coils heat up. However under these circumstances, its insignificant audibly, and they revert back after use.
"Breaking in" your speakers will not prevent damaging your speakers either in future use.
If you live in a cold state or country, now that winter is coming along, just leave them in the box to get up to room temp for a couple of hours before you set them up.

When i was 12 year old ;i remember about speackers that was siting on the cellar floor of my house for years.
I did a big mistake by cleaning the cellulose driver,with a wet duster. There was that much dust that it was like glue.
One day later i played music on it. sound was ok. hours later,boomer cone was unstuck. I tryed to fix it myself using glue. what a bad idea i had.
What i'm thinking for myself:
Listen music and enjoy it my boy too much questions kill the music.
