Seems to cover the issues well. I'm surprised there would be anyone left who would argue that speakers don't need *any* burn-in. As a DIY hobbyist for many years it's always been fairly clear that the mechanical aspects of a speaker need some amount of breaking in (big drivers more so than small I suppose. I suppose the big argument would be on how much - and as with many things there is never an easy answer. -- BTW, I do seem to remember at least one brand of audiophile speakers claiming to burn in the final product. Who, I can't recall. I can't imagine most companies would afford the time... Nice “summary” article. Seems to cover the issues well.
