Does it matter if I burn them in balanced or just SE?
This is certainly a point of contention, some manufacturers like Focal even recommend to burn in on their official website:Burn in is a myth, a dynamic driver vibrates so fast, it'll settle in within seconds. It's you adapting to a new sound, like getting used to a new pair of sunglasses. Balanced is just more power most (not all) amplifiers. The advantage is just to stay in low or medium gain which of course has lower distortion than high gain.
