i was very intrigued by this 'burn in' after hearing it from tong1774. i went to klipsch' forum to find more info, since theres alot of knowledgeable people there

there is no proof that this 'burn in' exists, and yet, no one can proof it doesnt.
someone mentioned that this burn in process might be because of electrons finding the best route/path of least resistance to their final destination, thus making the most efficient route. then, another person mentioned that biological and mechanical components dont 'burn in', they degrade as time passes, and cannot be reversed. but since speakers are mostly electrical components, which are solid state, there is little resemblence here as well. but i find what this person said to be the most interesting of all. he was talking about how even if there are changes in the components, who is to say they are changing for the better? why not change and get worse? can u make something to change to become better? and every single person reports that after this 'burn in' process, the sound is better. why hasnt it gone worse? placebo? maybe its just our mind adjusting to how a particular system sounds?

i would like to know what u guys think of it too. but for the time being, im more towards the 'no' side . perhaps someone can convince me that it really does exist

im now a believer

experienced it myself, it was as if, 'suddenly', the speakers sounded much better.

hmmm my dad was a hifi enthusiast last time [20years ago ] and when i talked to him about this. he said he never experienced this 'break in' before, i suspect perhaps they were all broken in from the factory
