Malcolm,
I go back and forth and read past posts. As for yours, not sure we really answered your question. While not an expert, I have learned that input from some of the folks on here can be invaluable. As for the speakers, yes, they definitely matter. However, not necessarily in terms of break in or seasoning of your new amp. I've heard all kinds of ideas. As previously mentioned, some say playing amp at a normal listening level for five hours on, five hours off. Cycling this process. I've heard of playing CD's or a streaming source at a moderate levels for 40-80 hours on end. Not with a tube amp. Have heard people say they did this with a Class D or Solid State Amp. (Not sure where they slept) I've hear of facing speakers, covering them with a blanket and playing them out of phase. Also said to be good for speaker run in And again, not with your tube amp unattended.
Now, all of the above may be fine; however in the end I agree with Donnie, play the thing and enjoy the music. In fact, the more you're present for the "break in" or "burn in" the more you'll enjoy your new amp.
