Tripod...
Ya, I know you are right, but by boxes didn't rattle until I turned them way up. So the broken cabinet did not come into play that much. Alls I am saying, is there was a differance. Whether it was from age or use, I do not know. But it is my opinion that speakers wear out over time. Any moving part is eventually going to wear. This would logically change the way the woofer handles the movement of air. I am not a beliver in break in, but as someone else noted above, I feel you just begin the breaking down period. Which will ultimately end in the woofer wearing thin and tearing. Just one last thing, I din't say better, I just said different.
