Do speakers take time to warm up?

I have this issue as I change speakers from time to time which are next to each other. I am told that the crossovers lose their charge and depending on each size or type of crossover it can take a few hours minimum to get back to working normal. This is when you physically disconnect the speaker cable from the amp or speaker. Is ok if you just switch the amp off as the connection remains
I am having a purpose built super quality switch box made to get over this issue

One word can be used to describe this post.
Ignorant

His engrained and obsolete opinion.

 All of a sudden, because its Hi-Fi, the laws of physics no longer apply?

 Electrical resistance is no longer altered by temperature?

 Capacitors longer require charging up and do not discharge themselves?

 Some speakers do not require much warming up, others do.

 The xover in (for example) the Avalon could almost be called a passive amplifier in the way it works.

Good grief - as peskywabbit has written - it is not up to us to prove to an idiot what is obvious if you had any ears, and you actually listened to different speakers or cables, or indeed anything. We contribute actual experiences to this forum, whereas you contaminate it with drivel.
