The gigaworks aren't good enough speakers to benefit from burning in.
Hope you're ready for massive dissappointment.

If they are nice speakers they are broken in before being sold. If they are cheaper speakers...you probably dont need to break them in because it wont do you any good.

Really? Can someone tell me more about "burning in"?
Some people think that by essentially ripping your CPU a new one it will magically be able to run faster than it could before. It's all bunk. It has nothing to do with teh thermal paste.
They somehow think that the transistors inside the CPU will become enlarged when you pump more voltage into the CPU. They then go on to hypothesize that after you do this, the CPU will be able to reach higher overclocks than it could before.
It's basically been proven to be false, but some people insist on doing it. It's all bunk.
It running hotter than usual cures the paste faster, so it reaches its optimal temp sooner. Only a few degrees, but its something. So if you want to O'C, getting those extra couple degrees helps.

CPU burn-in is a myth.

I'm not so sure this is true. Audiophiles don't buy cheap speakers and they burn in their speakers. There's even a special CD you can buy that'll do it effectively. In fact, Sony's $80 E-888 earbuds (yes earBUDs) need to be burned in. They sound like crap when you first buy em, but after breaking them in, they're the best earbuds you can buy.

I've never heard of speaker burn-in though.

Well apparently you are supposed to tax your gpu and cpu for awhile to cure your thermal paste. You need to play a game or run a loop of 3dmark or something. Then you turn it off for awhile so the thermal paste can set. I believe thats what its for. Im using new arctic silver 5 so I need to do this. I hope I didn't put to much on though.

Are you sure that you, as the listener, aren't simply becoming more psycho-accoustically familiar with them, rather than them actually physically changing? That would be my (unresearched) guess.

I have heard of speeker breakin but it was about the old kind of speakers (made of paper and foam). I guess it was like the old autos ya' know rough edges needed to be smothed out. "Do not excede 45mph for the first 100 miles....."

Eh, usually isn't needed these days when it comes to speakers. The only type of burning that goes on with speakers in their first few moments of play would be excess glue. Usually the glue that holds the coil to the former will burn off at first, once thats gone, no burning should happen to speakers. Unless you are a pyro of course...
