[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8220078, member: 655960"] Play it like you stole it. If the suspension is stiff, it's gonna loosen up regardless of what you do. The home audio snobs say to play something like pink noise through new drivers for 24 hours at low volume in order to "break" them in. I did this once when I owned a home theater store. I built a new theater in my house and I took one of my Jamo L/R speakers and "broke" that loudspeaker in "properly". Of course, I didn't break the other one in. I marked the speakers accordingly and then commenced with use. There was never an audible difference between the two in any respect whatever. And, they are both still doing fine in a friend's setup. You can do as you wish but frankly, breaking in speakers is like any other ritual. It accomplishes nothing but if it makes you feel better and doesn't hurt anyone else, go for it. ;-) [/QUOTE]
