Yes, fluctuations in temperature and humidity in a non climate controlled environment can be detrimental to any part of those speakers including the cabinets and veneer.
Will audio gear be ok in unheated house
I have a cottage. I drain the pipes and the house is left unheated over the winter. I have been taking my audio gear home (except for the speakers) when I leave in the fall for theft worries, but mostly because I am not sure the equipment will be OK in an unheated house in an often damp environment until the late spring when I return.
It is a pain taking it back and forth and I would prefer to leave it there. Maybe in garbage bags with some bags of dessicant in the garbage bags.
Anybody have any experience with this. I have been unable to find a good answer searching the web.
Thanks

@elliottbnewcombjr I think the National Fire safety association would take exception to your space heater recommendation, they aren't intended to be lest on for long periods and certainly not unattended |
I'm not suggesting a toy heater. entire homes have electric baseboard heat, they are left on low for winters all over the world, Countless people from the North East go to Florida for the winters quickie search, this one is plug, or approved for hard wire
a thourough search will find many safe options |
Marine supply stores offer low wattage heater sticks expressly for dehumidification. They're not expensive and far safer than a room heater or light bulb. I'd also consider making the closet more theft-resitant with a heavy duty door, hinges, and lock. At a minimum, line the inside of the door with 3/4" plywood and install a deadbolt. It won't stop a determined thief, but it will slow and hopefully discourage them. Look |
