Ditto from my experience with my One10. I didn't do any break in. I just played it.
Rhetorical question about break in: I wonder how much of the break in process is really us getting used to something sounding new and different.

Good term - "bloom". This is what happened with my Four 10 after a gig and a couple of rehearsals, it bloomed but still maintained its definition.Usually 3-4 hours at gig volume. Swear I could hear both of my One10's bloom right on stage.
No gigs until end of October, and I never rehearseso I'd like to get them setup for when the gigs start back up.
Still trying to decide on BB2 or BT2!
Do the Big Twin II's have handles on both sides or just top and one side?

Err. If you're deciding you should have or still be checking the website. Much info is there.
If you want to know more drop them an email and talk to Alex. You'll get good advice.
+1 on contacting Alex. A MUST for someone in your situation!
I thought of that too at first. You're right: the Barefaced web site does talk about the handles, but not on the Big Twin II page. The photo only shows one side of the cab. You have to kind of search around, but the handle info is on this page:

Just thought I'd provide the answer in order to avoid any delay with regard to a purchasing decision. ;-)
Yes, it has handles on both the side and the top. They're pretty compact/flat, easy to put an amp over. I have a Gator flightcase which i can put on top of the BTII.
It also has 2 wheels, which you can use if you tilt the cab.
Should you want to order the cover: it has a flap to pull underneath the cab, so it will stay put. You can keep the cover on during transport. Maybe stating the obvious, just to be complete

You can contact Alex Claber on TalkBass
@alexclaber. I sent him a message with questions about his cabs and he was very helpful.
Is there good access to all handles through cover I plan on ordering cover as well. I have been Emailing Alex back and forth and considering all his suggestions he has been a huge help! pretty sure I'm going to go with BT2 + cover! I'm so old skool It seems I always go with Bigger is Better and more is Just Right!

I have a Big Twin and the access is good for all the handles; Can get at them easily with one hand.
I didn't reply to your post because the cover that I have is not the same cover that is now being used by Barefaced. My cover is from Under Cover - Custom Covers and Bags for Pro Audio (and it has great access to all three handles).
Thanks everyone for answering my Questions I put a deposit on a Big Twin 2 this afternoon so now the wait

But please don't use the talkbass pm system, I get too many messages to keep track of them through here. Please email [email protected] and I will respond (sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly - depends on the complexity of the enquiry and how much else is going on!)
NCD for me today! 
I picked up my second BB2 yesterday but I got home from work so late that I never even opened the box. It was tough waiting until I got home from work tonight, but I finally opened it after I got home and plugged it in. Instant smile! I'm not in a band right now so I don't know when I'll get to really put them both to the test, but I think I'm ready for anything now. I can't imagine ever needing more than this pair of cabinets.
