Is it okay to talk around your speakers?


When a system is not on, should you avoid making any noise near the speakers? I am thinking about back EMF caused by the speaker cones moving and then sending voltage backwards into the crossover and the rest of the system - could this cause damage or even minor degradation to the sound quality after a while? Do you unhook the speakers when not in use just to be on the safe side?

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?
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'
