Part 1 - Do speakers change all that much after 100 hours of 'burn-in'? Andrew Jones (VP of Engineering, ELAC America) interviewed by Steve Guttenberg AUDIOPHILIAC. ( Part 2 to follow - How well do loudspeakers handle extreme power, do speakers wear out, or change over time? )

SG: " It's under-powered amplifiers that burn out tweeters? " AJ: " No... that's not true at all! " SG: " It's always just playing it too loud? " AJ: " Yes... it's not the clipping. "

Yes, I burned out a Peerless tweeter in one of my Celef Monitors in the 80s(?), when I loaned the speakers for a party at my boss's house
