Are speakers better after a bit of use? I have a set of Cambridge Audio SX50s that I bought a few weeks back. I got a chance over the last week to drive them a bit. I think now they sound better than they did even at low levels. Am I kidding myself?

Ive not noticed any difference in sound right out the box. Sounded perfect from the go

Not trying to be difficult , but isn't your Hegel / ATC system dross ? can be far bettered by a £1500 active system , so not perfect from the go, it fact have you not stated to a guy with a £60k system should sell it all and get a £1.5k speaker system?
Just asking

Now after an initial listen I always put new speakers on at a reasonable level with a Michael Jackson album on repeat, and then leave them alone in my listening room with the music playing for at least two days without listening to them. A lesson learned early on.
