I’ve had plenty of speakers that definitely needed to loosen up with some time driving them decently. It is a real thing, maybe not with everything , but with moving parts definitely.

I would say the most important thing for burn in is that difference from fresh out of the box to “burned in”. All new components, electronics, cabinet material is fresh. Inside the cabinet there are violent things going on. Sound waves, air pressure. They need some time ,the cabinets and electronics and drivers, to settle in. Same with electronics, the chassis and connections, things happen as they heat up and cool off in the first couple of usages. Use any analogy you want. A new house how it settles into the ground, a new couch as you sit on it more, fresh guitar strings, a new baseball glove etc. Many things need break in time and speakers and electronics are not exempt of this. After things get settled in and broken in there is then a very marginal difference over the long haul but make no mistake there is a big difference between fresh out of the box and broken in.

I have noticed improvements with SPEAKERS. Not so much with electronics personally.

Interesting! 76 people have voted so far, with about half saying yes, it makes a significant difference in sound quality. As Chicco mentioned, can you hear it? Your personal experience is the key. As Adam D says, over the long haul there may be a slight additional change, but the most noticeable changes happen early on. AudioDreamer and TM also note that speakers, having mechanical components that move a lot, are where you notice the biggest differences

I've noticed differences with speakers and digital components. Could very well be my ears burning in.

The question is: can YOU hear it? Is the equipment good enough to be able to hear any difference? But sorry, the difference is huge and is all there. Reality, not imagination.
