Will sun exposure damage my speakers?


I have a window next to one of my newly purchased JM Lab Electra 926s and since I like their look without the grill, I was wondering if I was hardening my cone surrounds or not. They are fiberglass "W" cones so I suppose they are ok but I don't know for sure. Has anyone looked into this before? Thanks! Arthur

YES!

Direct sunlight will "cook" foam and the plastic resins in the
fiberglass cones causing them to become embrittled which
ultimately leads to failure.

I'd keep the speakers out of direct sunlight.
