You have explained your experiment and the basis for your conclusions which is good. Indeed the conclusion you have drawn about one variable is not logical in the presence of the other variables. You seem to know this even though you protest. That is fine, your beliefs are your beliefs and you have not, as far as I can tell, attempted to be misleading.

What is the basis for this? Current practice is a lot closer to 50-100 seconds.

Not really. I was asking a question someone with a hobby interest in speakers would probably know having read a few articles on how speakers are made. Not only do drivers have to settle down or break in after manufacture but the properties also vary from driver to driver. How this is handled by the manufacturers of cheaper mass market speakers is not the same as that for low volume expensive speakers.

The way it is usually done is to measure and/or record it.
