does temperature affect speaker performance?


My system always seems more dynamic on a warm day. Is it the case that drivers have an optimum working temperature and are more flexible within certain perameters?

I think temperature has a greater effect on the speed of sound than on the speaker driver's mechanics. This can throw your system off if the speakers were carefully positioned and the room reflections/nodes treated and optimized at different ambient conditions. Sound travel is faster in warmer air temperatures - probably explains what Bryhifi experienced.
