Seas Millennium Break-in time

Hi I just bought some new Tyler Acoustics Signature Monitors .The Seas tweeter is supposed to sound a little on the poor side until about 200 hours. Is this speaker(which is on it's way) really that bad until the 200 hour mark or is it not bad out of the box but improves some over the next 200 hours? How would you recommend breaking them in...playing them around the clock for 8 days at a moderate level or infrequently over two months or so...at a louded level? I am looking for a time & level that is best & what to expect out of the box. Tyler claims he player the speaker for 24 hours to ensure everything was operating properly.

Thanks

Bill

Ummm, I'm a little confused as to what in a tweeter would take 200 hours. I can understand (and have experienced) woofers taking quite a bit of time to break in.

However, here's a good way to break in the entire speaker:

Face them toward each other a few inches apart and wire one speaker out of phase. Play a burn-in CD or one with wide dynamic range and frequency response and set the player on "Repeat". Set the volume level moderately high and then cover the outsides of the speakers with blankets and stuff to reduce the sound. Let them run however long you like.

1.5 min for speaker break-in sounds like hokum.
