Regional Climate Effect On Speakers

.
I grew up in Florida, and I remember it being very humid down there in the summer. I lived in Denver for five years and I remember the air being very dry. I now live in an area where things are pretty even.

Have those of you that live in extra humid or dry places noticed any effect on your cabinets, drivers or any other parts of your speakers?

I don't know anyone that lives here in Florida with high end audio equipment that doesn't have air conditioning in their homes.
That would be a controled environment that should counter humidity and dryness.

So when you take a trip out of FL for a month, you shold leave your AC running so your speakers don't get soaked in moisture.

Actually.....yes. You may turn the temp up to 82 or so, but you leave it running to control humidity. Don't want any mold growing which is a general health issue down here.

Yes, as Drr said, raise the temp a little to control the humidity. That is the norm for Florida. If you don't, your house will become musky and moldy in a short period of time.
