Errrr, what about when a single driver is replaced and takes a few months to sound right? I had this happen with my Thiels, had to replace one of the Vifa woofers about 4 months after the 1st due to budget, these cost $180 each!anyhoo, exact same drivers that sounded totally difft for a few months. the new ones sounded, well, new...tight & not extended. After a period of about 60 days or so, they both sounded the same.
i'm not sure if speakers themselves break-in, but the drivers sure do.
Its probably similar to buying a new car and having to drive under 60mph the 1st 500 miles so you don't trash the engine...items with moving parts all have a period of break-in.
