Help!!! Bought Warfdale diamond 9.5 speakers

There is no such thing as speaker break in. This is a complete myth running all over this industry. Even some reputed manufacturers claim speaker break in. Read the Audio Critic online, highly reliable source.
If your speaker dosent sound good on day one it wont sound good after 30 days or even 60. what could happen thou is, your ears get used to the speakers, which is very very common. Until you compare side by side to another better one, which changes things in an instant

I object milord!
Speaker break in is not at all a myth/hype or anything of that stature. Speaker being a mechanical transducer tends to loosen up after a few rounds of oscillations. The physical characteristics of the spider, the rubber surround everything undergoes changes after vigorous stress.

Interested in facts and figures to prove the same? Here you go:-

Actual measured t/s data of pre and post break-in of the Audax AP100Z0 loudspeaker drivers. Shown over 0, 30, 50 and 70 hours.

Thanks a lot for all your feedback!!

A few things I did which might seem to work right for me are below:
1) bought an 14G oxygen free cu wire
2) played music through an audio Cd
3) watched movies which are dolby/dts encoded (I had to select a/52 over s/pdif in VLC player audio settings. Only then did my amp identify the dolby/dts source. Btw my pc is connected via an optical cable)
4) bought a center speaker (warfdale 9 cs)
5) let the speakers "burn in" (played them for a few hours)

now, i get awesome quality from the speakers.. while listening to music i set the amp to stereo mode and enjoy the tower speakers in action... v happy with my buy now.

second thing, i did experience what you call "burn in" for both the tower speakers and the center when they were new... it sounded very bad initially (just taken out of the box).. however after a few hours (not 100 hours definitely) they were back in action... sounding really good.

Thanks a lot to all your suggestions...

This indeed is a great and probably the only audio/video hifi forum in India and my great thanks to all who contribute in this helping others.

Regds,
Jay
