Speaker 'burning in' - debunking the debunk?

Cards on table - I have very little support for the hi-fi fraternity with their anti-physics viewpoints on all kinds of crazy thing, including the need to have to burn in loudspeakers.

I'm now having to think very hard to explain a recent experience. I thought I'd share it to see if anyone else has views on what is happening here.

KRK speakers make weird "chirping / beeping sound" during playback and recording.

Speakers make weird chirp sound every so often when playing back or monitoring through interface. If I go through the built-in input the speakers work fine. Could it be the interface? Thanks

see audio clip for example:

Chinese Rogers LS5/3 boxes and complete speakers

It might be of interest that the Chinese are now building empty boxes and complete speakers to the old BBC design. No idea what they're like - but have a look own Aliexpress. Crossovers and the boxes look pretty nice, but they're not cheap, but for anyone unable to make nice looking boxes, they could be worth a look - especially if you like tweaking.

Speakers or DAC what to upgrade next (1k budget)

I'm thinking of what my next move should be as far as putting my new basic rig together, besides the seemingly endless computer parts. right now I'm rocking an Avid eleven, and Focusrite scarlett solo interfaces, and Alesis monitor one speakers, with an avantone on the shortlist, and a Bose home theater, and various Bluetooth and computer speakers.

Need to eliminate sound from speakers in mic

Forums

I'm shooting an instructional video with a guitar, voice and piano. Sound is live, i.e. no headphones. Guitar and Piano come out of the speakers, but the mic does not. I have a RODE NTG-1, but no matter where I position the speakers, the RODE picks them up, a lot! (trying to position the speakers in the dead area of the polar pattern appears to do nothing).
