Do speakers take time to warm up?


For example, if my stereo is on and has been on for weeks, and then I connect speakers that have been sitting idle for a few weeks, do the speakers sound better after an hour of being played?  Whats going on?  Is it the caps in the crossover, the drivers, the ferrofluid in the tweeters?  All of the above?

Not surprising at all....voice coils are a ’motor’ in a fashion, a coil suspended in a magnetic field, made to move in a controlled fashion.  Just like an ordinary motor, driving a mechanism...

I’ve touched the backs of magnet structures and noted the temperature changes, sometimes to the point of ’ouch!’

That’s when I know it’s time to ’back off’ on the enthusiasm...;)
