Elizabeth, you're close! Actually, it's the coupling or storage capacitors in the amp/preamp, that take time to charge, stabilize, and reach optimum performance. The cross-over networks in most speakers are passive, and are good to go, immediately. Of course, new speakers will take time to "burn in" the cross-overs and drivers to reach optimum sound. And if you don't play your speakers for several days, it mat take a few hours for them, as well as your cables and interconnects, to reach peak performance again.
Should I leave my equipment on ?
All solid state equipment, no tubes...Adcom 535 amp, Parasound pre amp, Cambridge Audio cd....should I leave everything on all the time, or turn off if I wont be using it for awhile ?
Does leaving everything on amount to a lot of energy wasted ?
