Is it okay to talk around your speakers?

It might sound dumber, but do speakers remember the music they play? There is a school of thought on this. For example, never play Rap or metal on a system that is used for jazz- it will be damaged forever. It will still play, but not as well. It won't really ever sound good again.

On dealer also told me to never place speakers in a spot that is a "bass node" - IT will cause damage?

This is becoming my favorite comedy site.

I don't talk much to my speakers, other than the occasional "Thank you" after I give them a good Hug!!!

I tip-toe quietly around mine.

Make sure you feed yours with only the highest quality components.

If you ever sell them, mention this in the ad, speakers do have a memory.

speakers are workhorses/motors

the dealer is selling 'mystique'

emphasis on the word selling
