Because there are so many diverse opinions on the length of speaker [and component] break-in for those who acknowledge the existence of it, I've concluded that our brains operate differently to identify, accept, and process sonic changes over time. For instance, even if speaker break-in took hundreds of hours, I'm not going to wait that long, so I give it a few hours. This process works well for me, but that's consistent with my typical patience tolerance with nearly everything else outside of audio.
