Is this a logical break in technique?

Background of theory; take 3 people (just to explain my point, if this is even a point) each listen to different types of music. One rock, one jazz and one classical-keep it simple, if each one of these people only listen to one particular type of music for the entire break in period, do the speakers remember the focal points in the freq range of that type of music. Because jazz can be light, rock can be heavy and classical can be both as can all the genres but one genres compared to the other are recorded with different end results in mind.

Basically would it be better to break in a pair of speakers with pink noise and run the tones at different db’s just to expose the speaker to different signals basically training the speaker to produce anything and everything.

Example:

I listen to Jazz for 1 year straight on the same system as my friend. at moderate levels

My friend listen to rock for 1 year straight on the same system.

Say we swap system but not genres would there be a sound difference? If yes then this theory might have something to it. If not I need to lay off the weed.

I just took the time read your initial post to this thread. Got to the bottom and my post was redundant.

We're on the same page, friend.

But what is IOW? New one to me.

This non-scientific idiot (me) would like to suggest that if the speakers don't receive deep bass signals during break-in (or ever, for that matter), the surrounds won't loosen. Period.

As for the other drivers, it's all about breaking in the crossover components and wiring and the surrounds,isn't it? How can a hard dome tweeter know the diffence between a violin's F######### and Mariah Carey? Both will send you out of the room.

With all due respect to the EE factor, the question is moot.

The break-in will evolve according to what the system is fed. Jeeez. Feed it new stuff, the system will adjust. Two days or two years later. Either positively or negatively depending upon your taste.

There can't possibly be a "permanence" to the initial break-in source (unless you try to blow a woofer) if the system is exposed to all genres over time.

And besides, the whole concept is immeasurable and totally subjective.

Whose ears are the given?
And what did s/he have for lunch that day?

My other two cents.
