As a well defined process Klipsch excersizes every "moving coil" transducer it baselines for design work. If the compliance is not naturalized your Thiele Small Parameters are compromised. The driver is the heart of the system. If it is not characterized properly every thing down stream is compromized... Box Tuning, Crossovers... EQ. So "burn in" I can understand and measure in a moving coil. This being said it is very sutle to the final outcome of the response in time and frequency.
I think that is very roundabout way of saying: "Burning in armatures is like burning in CPUs: they either work as intended or not at all, but if you feel it's making its sound better - knock yourself out."
