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?

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.

Yes, speakers do remember the music they play very well. Whenever I play a song I have played before the speakers sound the same. It's as if they remember every note.
