If you don't believe me, try Youtubing how the likes of Dynaudio or Focal-JMLab manufacturing process.
At the end of the day, breaking in is true because you can quantify the changes of the speaker due to a softened suspension, etc. However, it won't make your speakers sound from crap to great - that's a myth so that installers may dissuade buyers from returning their product.
