Mechanical components in the suspension certainly do change with use, so "break in" may be occurring. The resonant frequency of a driver, for instance, can drop significantly due to softening of the suspension parts. My personal experience with loudspeakers is that there are some, usually small, changes in the first few hours of operation. These are measurable, particularly with subwoofers and larger woofers. Recently I tested a large subwoofer that had been used for nearly four years of serious duty and it showed about a 5% fall in free air resonant frequency and smaller changes in the other driver parameters. Whether these changes make a substantial difference in the sound varies with the specific drivers and the loudspeaker design.
