Thanks for the explanation guys!
Breaking a speaker in can also take a marginal or bad sounding speaker and improve the tone. I know an amp tech who had this particularly bad sounding speaker. He hooked it up to a sine wave generator and left it on over the weekend. He said it improved the tone dramatically.

Some speakers sound terrible when new, breaking them in can improve the tone up front without having to play through it a lot to get it broken in.
