I would think the quality of the driver would effect the consistency of the results over time, since they are high tolerance motors at heart, and deviations from manufacturing specifications are usually considered signs of future failure.
I can see how a speaker with a paper surround would change with use, and also see newer , designs with materials that can handle many flex cycles with little change.
MY speakers sounded good when new, and were even more pleasing as I got used to them. Since I had read so much about break in, I thought that is what I had heard.
But then, on second thought , even though I heard it, it was nonsense. The quality of the drivers precluded such variations in performance. The S.E.A..S driver company was founded by a medical researcher who needed more accuracy in drivers to run the hearing test he needed. So this company made custom medical research grade drivers for my speakers, and the resultant consistent performance was part of the super computer aided design. Radical or mild changes in audio perception doesn't jive with anything except brain or power fluctuations in my case. What I heard was me getting settled into the new speakers .
