As some have suggested, they need some break-in time both physically and electrically. Actually, I'm of the believe that EVERY new speaker needs it, regardless of what a manufacturer says.
With ANY new speaker that comes into my living environment (be they hi-fi or musical instrument- I play bass guitar and do repair/modifications), I have two CDs that I run- one of ocean surf (it's much more pleasant than white/pink noise). I will usually run that for a full day or two.
My next step is to run a thunderstorm CD at a moderate volume. I usually run this for a full day on a Saturday while I'm out doing groceries, or in the past, lawn/yard work. That tends to take care of "limbering up" the woofers/panels. The differences from out of the box to 20-40 hours can be quite dramatic, and more so with Maggies...
BTW, Rkyo had a bunch of "Environment Series" CDs years ago, and that's where both the ocean surf and thunderstorm come from. You might find them on eBay. The good thing, like I said, is that they sure beat running noise generators all day long!

Follow Ups:
The ULTIMATE SEASHORE? and 'THE OPTIMIUM AVIARY'?
I think the ones I had were from Syntonic Research but memory could be playing tricks on me.
I also remember they'd play at ANY speed.
With the Thunderstorm Track you could SMELL the OZONE! HEY! That's the AMP!
Too much is never enough
The two I have are "A Day On Cape Cod" and simply "Thunderstorm". I can look up the catalog numbers when I get home this evening if it really is pressing (you aren't a completest for sea shores and storms, are you??? LOL)...
P.S.- I also have an "Enviroments" LP of a rolling brook through some forested area on one side, and a springtime meadow on the other- never listened to it yet, as it was part of a collection I picked up some years ago...
Cheers,
