    A temperature difference in your house could also lead to measurable changes in driver characteristics, but nobody talks about how their system sounds better in winter/summer.

    Moving the speaker - or your head - an inch or two probably makes a larger measurable difference.

    The break-in that people report happening over months is purely psychological.
    Excellent reply and 100% correct.

    Transducer's do break-in, mostly seen as compliance changes as spiders and surrounds loosen up a bit. This does happen quite quickly though and is indeed measurable when evaluating T/S parameters. As to whether or not this is actually audible, no one really knows - but I have learned to never question what someone else hears. However, if it is audible, it would indeed be extremely minor.
