and there are a number of skeptics, although I'm not sure I can follow their logic, as I think the mechanics are pretty straightforward and measurable. There are at least two sources of well documented engineering data that I've seen that prove conclusively that measured driver parameters do change substantially over a fairly long period of use. The interaction of the Fs changes and xovers is complex and can explain a lot of the audibility of this phenomenon. I think Danny at GR research has published some data on his site, and others have done the same. Links to this data have been posted in previous discussions here. For me, I absolutely trust my own ears, in spite of the "placebo effect" theorists, and I think the difference is very noticeable over time. Some speakers seem to take up to 2 or 3 hundred hours to stabilize, others less.
