Is it okay to talk around your speakers?


When a system is not on, should you avoid making any noise near the speakers? I am thinking about back EMF caused by the speaker cones moving and then sending voltage backwards into the crossover and the rest of the system - could this cause damage or even minor degradation to the sound quality after a while? Do you unhook the speakers when not in use just to be on the safe side?

I live alone.. so it's problematic for me to be talking around my speakers.... usaully I just talk to them.

How you guys doing? Like the new Obamama health plan? What did you think about that Yemen thingy the other day? How about them S. F. Giants!

All that said, at times, I talk around my speakers, but never about my speakers ... while they are in ear shot anyhow.

Why boost their egos, give them cause for anxiety, or anger them needlessly?

Speakers should be kept like mushrooms... out of direct sunlight, fed lots of juice, and in cool dark places.
Gawdbless is this where absolutely nothing happens... as in Any good music on around here?

Nope... I ain't heard nun yet.

I'm wondering if perhaps if the winery turned 'nunery', turned convent, were to subscribed to a vow of silence and banned iPods, you would indeed enjoy ONLY "The Sounds Of Silence"... Well that and bells of course.

Somewhere, somehow, someone in there is wearing ear buds…. I’m sure of it. No one can listen to Simon and Garfunkle forever.

I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say your post followed a lengthy evening of disinformation gathering and transcendental mediation.

I'd invite you to acquire as did I, this precept:

it ain't what you know that gives you the most consternation, it's what you know that just ain't so that confounds and confuses.... speakers are no different. They say quite often, "Right here is fine bud." however we later find out, they were only partially right, and need further relocationing... sometimes the relocating is in someone else' home.

It's only thereafter that we rediscover via the next few pairs of replacements that we'd as soon have back those we relocated initially when the upgrade flu overtook us..
