[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2678269, member: 555320"] I would disagree aswell. The issue here isn't [I]does a speaker's parameters change over time[/I]. This is a given. Yes, they indeed do as the suspension loosens up gradually, and the process never really stops over the entire life of the speaker. The issue is [I]do I need to break them in as a matter of avoiding damage to the product, etc[/I]. And no, you do not. You can simply plug them in and play them like you normally would, and they will "break in" over time naturally with regular, normal use. You do not need to assign some arbitrary time frame at some arbitrary output or power level, and there are no ill effects from failing to ritually observe these arbitrary time frames and power/output levels. And in regard to your Dyns.....listening alone is not a very good objective measurement [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] It is highly likely that your perception of their sound changed more as you got more used to them, which could easily account for the change you heard without invoking any change in the actual response of the speakers themselves. That said; I'm not saying there [I]couldn't[/I] be some slight changes in the actual sound characteristics. But this would require objective measurements to determine why, where, and how much....and not simply "listening to them". [/QUOTE]
