Speakers should sound great right out of the box...when everything is tight and in the same state.The problems usually comes after a few hours playing time, when some components start to relax and others don't.
Given that within speakers, there're moving parts that need time to get used to moving, it stands to reason that the break-in period for a tweeter will be different from that of a mid-range unit and a woofer.
Internal cables and x-overs also need time to burn in and will likewise contribute to an unbalanced sound, once things start to change.
In order to run in a pair of speakers quickly, choose a burn-in CD or CD with a range of different music, throw it in the CDP, set the volume slightly higher than your normal listening level and note the volume setting.
Now move the speakers to face one another about 2 inches apart and reverse the loudspeaker connections to one speaker. Throw a blanket over both speakers, set the CDP to repeat, set the amp to its predetermined volume and hit play.
The most significant changes should take place within the first 100 hours.
