Thanks for this helpful info. Given the way break-in is routinely alluded to in equipment reviews, you would think there would be more interest in measuring the phenomenon. One gets the impression that talk about break-in is just intended as an inoculation against any perceived failings. While objective measurement cannot determine the quality of a speaker, or determine whether two speakers will sound the same, it would be, as I said, surprising if break-in effects were large but never measurable.
The brain break-in is obvious in that when you first listen to a speaker you notice what is different about it but after you have owned it for a year it sounds unremarkable.
It's never too late to turn back the clock.
