I personally have never "broken in" a set of speakers like that before, and for several good reasons. I would hate to come home to find a failure occurred, and damage resulted from not being there. Or a fire (highly unlikely) but with my luck it would happen. The 1.7 is completely a quasi ribbon speaker, and is constructed differently than other maggies. Because of this I would think that there would be very little "break in" to be done, other than the crossover, and some "stretching" of the mylar. And this break in should not take too long (within a few weeks). With the wasted electricity, and the potential for damage, I say that it is just better to let it happen naturally. That is just my opinion though.
If you really must, some good reasons are.
"I pay the electric bill"
"Yes I will buy you those new shoes"
"The plants needed some entertainment"
"Even you'll hear the difference"
"If you turn it off, you'll break it"
Any of those should work quite nicely, or have you sleeping on the couch (more time to enjoy your system). Either way is a win. ; )
