In Reply to: "breaking-in" new speakers posted by surgeonx on September 20, 2001 at 05:38:46:
reverse the speaker cables on one speaker - so they are out of phase to each other - which will reduce the apparent "volume when they are placed facing each other as close as possible, through a blanket over them and have at it with a cd of the ocean. Use a cd of the ocean? Why? It is about as random as one can get and is about as full range as well. I found a cd of the Pacific Ocean, recorded during a stormy period (60 mins) featuring pounding surf, at a local Tower for under $5. Look in the environmental or nature music section.
This was passsed on to me courtesy of Hales speakers. They used this technique as well. Very effective and they felt the "breakin" was much faster with this type of "music" as opposed to FM or what have you.
The added benefit is that the volume can be reduced at night with still positve results due to the wide band (so I like to crank it to safe levels while away at work). Plus after a while you are under the impression you have beach front property.
