Aupiho,
A curious characteristic of the Stein Music Speaker Matches Plus is not simply that their noise reduction is striking and heard completely within a couple of days of installation but that the benefit then continues afterwards whether or not they remain installed. I checked this for a month or two after the $550 purchase and then delightedly sold the pair. The dealer of thirty years experience subsequently admitted to having exactly the same experience later himself.

What you says is something I'm telling myself for zobel networks too ... Often for the firsts days after, a tweak change is huge but after a while when you remove it the difference become more thin...Even if a difference still there the gap between with and without is not so big than before...
What is interesting with a tweak like stein speaker match plus is that the improvement is really huge and that you can't go back without particulary if you have fullrange drivers like me!
My idea is that some tweaks acts like a burn-in improvement: just like if the tweak was giving the abit to you system to work with full potential and that in the same time the system is changing inside to respond to this full potential and better its potential itself... On a loudspeaker the idea is that the stein zobel helps the speaker to move in a way he didn't go before....a kind of second burn in wich helps the driver to have far better performance...
Just an idea...not a proof but...

What speakers do you use? I tried to find out something about these on the internet, but all I could find was one blurb that mentioned the dreaded Quantum Effect. I think more likely they are RC networks, like the HDLs but perhaps using different values of R and C. If that's correct, then one would not expect the effect to linger after removing the device from the speakers. So, maybe I am not correct.Or, maybe they are true Zobel networks, designed to improve amplifier/speaker matching. That might be consistent with other claims I saw that they reduce or eliminate "back EMF".
