Break In Failed

The best advice is Sean Connery's in The Untouchables:

Don't wait for it to happen. Don't even want it to happen. Just watch what does happen.

Or in this case listen (and enjoy).

I think break in time would depend on the speaker being used. My Avior ii speakers changed vastly in bass quality over a 3-4 month time frame. 

You don’t have to be neurotic about it, just put them in your system, fire them up, and listen. Before you know it you’ll be rewarded with great sound as they progressively get better and better. Enjoy the hobby! 

my integrated is audibly hard sounding for the first 10-15 minutes, but speakers i've owned generally inching them around the room and playing with toe in is how I break them in. I've never heard a dramatic change in sound. The reason the speakers we hear at shops sound so good compared to when we get them home is the rooms they're in. If you like the sound at the shop pay the dealer to come over and set up your system for you, that is if you're in it for high fidelity.

I not a dealer, just a frustrated customer who's never been able to get demo results at home.

My question about break in is: how does the speaker know to stop breaking in?
