Does your system's sound change with the weather?


This maybe a crazy post but here goes. I have been noticing this with every decent pair of speakers I've owned for a while now. The sound of the system seems to change with the weather. This used to drive me nuts. One day things sounded great. The next day I would either hear a slight dullness or it would be more emphasis on the highs.

I would swap gear and unplug the power conditioner.None of this ever helped.Then I remeber reading one of Roy Johnson's post that mentioned air pressure and the differences in spl depending on the elevation.

Over a year ago I started paying closer attention to the weather but specifically low pressure and high pressure weather systems. Sure enough when ever there was an eratic pressure change, the sound would change in my system. Could this be the speakers ..my ears or both that allow me to hear these changes in air pressure? Is there anyone else that notices this? All comments or theories welcomed!

I dont know Mark but there seems to be more to it than just mood swings. If that's the case I may need a pyschiatrist.LOL!! Seriously though... I thought at first it could be mood swings but sometimes it sounds great on cloudy days.
Slipknot you need to go a head and send me those Magnepan 3.6Rs the next time the weather changes! LOL
Geoff,Newbee,Blueswan and Onhighway61 you make some good points. It's pretty humid down here in the south most of the year. I haven't noticed any changes with this ..probably because it's humid most of the time.
I suppose it maybe only noticeable with drastic changes in the weather. If the changes are sutle it's not very noticeable.
I am sure glad others notice these changes as well.
Boy Oh Boy.. some of you guys post are HILARIOUS!!!!!
I needed a good laugh.
I am sure some of you also notice that sounds in the winter seem amplified..like train horns for example.

Happy Listening!
Philojet I am glad I don't live in Michigan or CT! You guys live in winter wonder land.Folks down here are in shorts and t-shirts. It's warm enough to ride around with the top down. Ah nothing like 75/80 degrees in March.LOL!!! Sorry Buscis2 ...I know you guys in CT were in the 20s today with a snow storm..HeheheHaha

I agree that does sucks not being able to get her to ride around with her top down. Man some of you guys need to do stand up comedy shows. I am glad I finished my coffee before I read that ..it would have really hurt!!!
