What hurts a speaker?


I have never really been clear on what hurts a speaker. Will the popping sound on vinyl hurt speakers? What about distorted material i.e. track 9 on Bjork's Homogenic album? This song contains digital distortion.

Wally_li,

You said it brother! Those nice, shiny round things that are at about eye level are extremely tempting for young kids to poke.

Regards,
Yawning and falling asleep is very insulting to a speaker. Also having a conversation with someone can also be a bit offensive to a speaker. Showing up late, and/or leaving before the speaker finishes is rude to a speaker. And never mock or make fun of a speaker.
You are most likely to notice a problem with your speaker after getting a demo of your buddy's new kilobuck set up.
This can be corrected by spending an equal amount of money yourself.
