Who can remember what a speaker sounded like 500 hours ago? Nonsense - break in is over once you play a well known cut and hear better imaging, soundstage or whatever over the prior speaker/component. That may happen immediately or take a long time, depends on how much better the new piece is over what it replaces.
Follow Ups:
As I stated above 100 hours for my Lowthers. Could not listen to them at all before 40 hours because they were so super brite. I do not think that most other equipment breaks in. If they do it is very slight

Huh.
I had already heard fully broken in Lowthers which sounded sensational and the distributor had told me that they would sound like crap until at least 40 hours.
Alan
Whatever :-) I've experienced it and I neither hold to Break in in electronics nor Iffy wire claims. Having Never experienced such in ~50 years of 'this' hobby.
Al Bundy audio salesmens' claims aside :-)
Engine break in even with Nikasil bores IS real though.
Been there.. ruined a couple by believing it wasn't.
An expensive lesson not easily forgotten.
But Hey! we are(?) adults.. Follow your own dogma.
