SPEAKER BREAK-IN 

In the same way that a new car requires a break-in period before it can be safely operated 
at high engine RPMs, speakers require a break-in period before they can be safely operated 
at maximum volume levels. Proper break-in ensures that the moving parts of the speaker 
(the cone and cone suspension) are allowed to flex and soften, losing the initial stiffness 
and allowing the speaker to move through its full intended range. After the break-in 
period, the speakers will produce richer and fatter sounding lows, warmer and smoother 
sounding mids, and cleaner and more accurate highs, without any hint of distortion. 
The best way to break-in speakers is simply to play normal music or watch movies at 
moderate volume levels. The amount of time required for speaker break-in varies based on 
the operating environment, but is typically in the area of 50~80 hours. It will take a bit 
longer in a cold or dry environment and a little less time in a warm or humid environment. 

Note that the break-in period does not have to be continuous.
