Here is the experiment--take an unconnected speaker and push on the woofer cone to feel how much resistance to movement there is. Now, connect a wire between the positive and negative terminal and push on the cone. You will feel resistance increase (the now completed circuit will create a magnetic field that resists movement). I have my doubts that this will make any real difference in the sound in the room, but, this at least explains the theoretical basis for the practice.
Storage of other speakers in the room, shorting them while not in use? Myth or true?
Hi ,I am about to bring another set of speakers to my audio room, I want to leave the unused ones I,m using right now in the same room.. Is it true that to have them not interact with the acoustics of the room and with the speakers in use I should put them in short ( positive and negative connected ) the unused ones. I have received that advice from two different audiophiles, one of them with experience in a pro recording studio. Is it real? or is it just a urban legend (aka BS)?
