Is it okay to talk around your speakers?

Cables don't really burn like fire, they learn. See, the free electrons in the metalic structure, which exist in a cloud, and are not really attached to any specific proton, stabalise and begin to work together. When they all start pulling in the same direction then the cables are ready.

I think the audio store i used to shop at unhooked all unused speakers so morons that couldn't keep hands in pockets could not crank-it-up and damage or annoy the store workers.

Hifihvn,
In 'The Italian Job', one of the characters was going to use his share of the loot to buy a stereo system which could "play so loud it would blow women's clothes off." Is that what you are thinking of?

The best thing about this thread is that it prompted Al to give a totally untechnical response. And no, Al, I am not busting on you -- your very informative replies are always much appreicated.

Best to use sign language around your speakers.

Most of them have extremely fragile egos.

Especially the high sensitivity models.

I live alone.. so it's problematic for me to be talking around my speakers.... usaully I just talk to them.

How you guys doing? Like the new Obamama health plan? What did you think about that Yemen thingy the other day? How about them S. F. Giants!

All that said, at times, I talk around my speakers, but never about my speakers ... while they are in ear shot anyhow.

Why boost their egos, give them cause for anxiety, or anger them needlessly?

Speakers should be kept like mushrooms... out of direct sunlight, fed lots of juice, and in cool dark places.
