New Surrounds - Break-In Period?

[Zekeman]

Do surrounds need to be broken in?? Do they loosen-up (or become more flexible) after several hours of use...or heavy (high-power) usage?

Thanks.

I think the answer is yes they will loosen up, but it is only important if you need to measure actual T/S parameters for box design.
