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?

Hi Monya

The drier the air and higher the temperature the more dynamic range you will have along with musical body and lower acoustical/mechanical distortion. If you can set your room's humidity around 30-35% your doing good. Even lower humidity is better for sound but you'll need to keep an eye on wood products if it's too dry.

You'll notice when a rain storm comes through the sound gets sluggish and not as dynamic. This is when you don't want to push your amps to compensate.
