Tony,

Your message has been waiting untouched for a few days which leads me to believe that people either prefer to avoid this somewhat controversial question, or, they just don't care. Nevertheless, where angels fear to tread ...

Although I'm certain that you can find those who will make bold assertions about what music to use for break-in and how long it should take, I'm told by my EE friends that there is no such thing as break-in for speakers primarily because there is insufficient mechanical action to warrant such treatment. As someone with a background in cognitive psychology, I'm prone to believe that through the process of postpurchase rationalization, it is indeed the owner of the speakers that is being "broken in." In other words, there may be a period of time during which you convince yourself that your speakers are sounding better every day.

Of course, I could be completely wrong.

Chris
