alright, nevermind

eminence got back to me very quickly:

Hi Joe,

There is no reason why you have to break in the speakers. You may choose to
break them in to soften the suspension as a matter of personal preference.

I've never heard of Eminence speaker LLC, but they have my same area code. Interesting.
