Storage of other speakers in the room, shorting them while not in use? Myth or true?


Hi ,I am about to bring another set of speakers to my audio room, I want to leave the unused ones I,m using right now  in the same room..  Is it true that to have them not interact with the acoustics of the room and with the speakers in use I should put them in short ( positive and negative connected ) the unused ones.  I have received that advice from two different audiophiles, one of them with experience in a pro recording studio. Is it real? or is it just a urban legend (aka BS)?

So taking this one step further, What if you have other speakers in your listening room that you use for other purposes? Like having separate components for your AV system and your Audiophile stereo in the same room. The only way around this is to have separate rooms for every use. Some people can afford that, but not the Common man. If you demand the ultimate in sound yes spend a Million makers on a specialized ROOM built onto your home just for listening to music and get over it. The amount of room resonance that will be affected by a speaker is so negligible that you would be much better off doing more with another Room tuning.
