Yes, it can make sense to import speakers. Speaker bedding involves playing a signal through the speakers for a period of time to loosen the cones and suspension to optimize their performance. Running in the loudspeakers can improve the mechanical properties of the loudspeaker, which can lead to better sound quality. In the case of new loudspeakers in particular, the warm-up can help the membranes adapt better to the suspension and thus improve the sound. It can also help the speakers last longer in the long run.

However, the break-in of the speakers should not be overdone, as it can also damage the speakers if they are operated too long and too loudly. It is advisable to stick to the break-in time and volume recommended by the manufacturer.

How long should a speaker break in?

The break-in period for speakers can vary by make and model, but in general it is recommended that speakers be broken in for around 20 to 40 hours. During this time the speakers should be operated at a moderate level to loosen the cones and suspension without damaging them.

It is important to note that the break-in period is not just a one-time thing, but should be repeated after longer periods of inactivity (e.g. if the speaker has not been used for a long time). A regular break-in period can help ensure that the performance and sound quality of the speakers is maintained over the long term.
