Why? Because I'm not convinced it's true, or even a valid test if it is true, "C'mon honey, let's use our Alphas to prove those dolts wrong on the Asylum" and there's nothing humble about your opinion. Speaker break-in is an accepted practice with TAS, Stereophile and UHF reviewers in addition to speaker manufacturers and owners.Your wording stops just short of calling at least one very successful speaker designer and manufacturer in his company's 30th year in business... a liar.
"Alas, manufacturers feed the break-in myth to because it is a way of avoiding rampant returns" and "They know full well that long before a few hundred hours have passed, the customer will have resigned themselves to the new purchase, and will probably have re-read (a dozen times) the glowing review(s) that led them to buy the product in the first place."
That is IMHO mean-spirited, paranoid bullshit.
"Could there be a better way to observe the affects of break-in than my experiment?" Yes, use a full-range speaker that has enough resolution for a difference to be heard, did you get your Vandersteens new or used?
Cheers
