[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8754896, member: 614752"] So we cannot measure the difference but we can hear it? It seems strange that if humans only start to notice a change in sound intensity at 1.0dB we can't measure changes from this break-in phenomenon with equipment like Termlab which is much more sensitive. I use a double diaphragm pump for my business and it required no wear-in or warm-up procedure. A loudspeaker is a pump of sorts, but not all pumps are created equal, though if we're going to say industrial pumps are relevant I'd suggest double diaphragm style is much more similar to a loudspeaker than anything that'll generate the sort of pressure you're working with. I'm trying to shed light on an urban legend here. You will notice that nobody has presented any quantifiable evidence to support any of this speaker break-in mythos. It should be obvious by now that the truth of the matter is far from what marketing departments would have us believe and IMO the motives behind manufacturers and retailers perpetuating this idea (with zero data to back it up) must be suspect.
