It varies by component. Several catridge makers will actually include a recommended range. Metal dome tweeter sound off when the temperature sinks to low. Paper cone/rubber cone drivers can be sensitive to humidity. But looking at it from the equipment's POV is probably backwards. Temperature and humidity will effect the listener far more directly and I would suggest it's best to set them with that in mind. If you're not physically comfortable, then how are you going to enjoy music?
What is the optimal temperature/humidity for audio
I have often wondered how the climate inside the listening room affects the overall performance of audio playback. I have found on many occasions that my system sounds best on a hot and humid summer night. I supppose that the density of the air acts as some sort of acoustic filter in certain conditions. What are your thoughts?
