Break In Question?

I have the Martin Logan Summit X. These speakers each have 2 knobs on the back allowing me to adjust the bass quantity of 25hz and 50 hz. These speakers have dual 10-inch woofer, 1 pair have 4. They produce a lot of quality bass.

I’ve had brand new cables in my system where it virtually have no bass, turning up these knobs did little to increase the bass. Don’t tell me my mind was playing tricks. I know when my bass is off, let alone at this magnitude. 

Of course, after some break-in, the bass slowly comes to life. 

"Or when Scientists concluded the Auroras absolutely didn’t make any sound and that the people who say the Auroras did were dillusional."

Ah, yes. The consistent false belief of seeing crunchy pickles everywhere...

@douglas_schroeder after reading this thread I purchased the Kindle edition of your book, and read the first 1/4 of it with great interest. I am only a few years into the serious audiophile experience, and find your so-called laws to be very helpful perspectives despite what I imagine some will find a too-absolutistis tenor. You appreciate that risk, shown by the graphic you used of Moses with his tablets. Regardless, your book has nuance, and the "laws" serve well as guideposts or cautionary tales for decision-making. I look forward to finishing your book.

Ok, enough time spent on this. IMO, there has not been a single on topic direct response to my claims, which have been reinforced with testing and examples of new drivers in speakers. An objection stating, "I heard this over x period of time," is not a serious challenge to my practically instant comparisons. Nor are they a serious challenge to my examples of switching out old drivers for new in speakers. 

BTW, i have never paid any attention to Audio Science Review. I believe over the past years I saw two titles of videos that I thought might be interesting, but neither one was relevant to real world system building. I concluded I can safely ignore that source.Objectivists can make as many mistakes in system building as subjectivists who claim break in is real, i.e., that the equipment audibly changes its performance over initial use, 

There, that will win me a lot more friends! In the book I also discuss the pitfalls of objectivist audio and how it hampers system building. 

jrdavisphd, I was just about to walk away from the thread for an indefinite time period - some may have cheered! - when I saw your post. 

Thank you, sir! I hope that the work is a boon to your involvement in our hobby!
