Normally, maybe that technique of running white noise through stiff
speakers works, but I have taken care of that and any possibility of
cone cry by
having the 12" speaker I use from Weber moderately doped, it gives
that
already broken in sound, then with the right 2 different 8"
speakers, the amp
comes out of the box "broken in" sounding. That is what everyone has
responded with. Ted Weber gave me a tip and said to spray Downy
fabric softener on
the cone lightly, make sure no big globs. I tried that on the stiff
original silver Jensen P10R's I have, may need to do it as many
times until you
can hear the difference when you tap the cone, not something you
want to
try, but I did it and it worked as best as possible. Playing them
is still the
best break in possible. Once you have amps out in the field for
over 10
years and get feedback that the amp sounds better all the time,
reflects the
playing aspect of the break in.
