Depends on the kind of smoke you're talking about, but it can either make your speakers sound like they are firing straight into your brain and especially with multi-channel music, make your feel like you are getting the most insane head massage, or they can make you feel like you want to stab yourself in the heart or into the woofer or jump out your window.
I was always told cigarette smoke deteriorates the surronds on old speakers. This is referring to the surrounds that were like foam as opposed to the modern surrounds that are rubber. Don't know if this is true or not.
Thanks guys;My first laugh of the day. 'Wish I was creative enough to add something;besides more smoke.
Even though I'm not a smoker, I've found that cigarette smoke makes my speakers sound sort of dry & harsh, while cigar smoke makes them sound somewhat coarse, but in an interesting, earthy way. The best smoke, smoke that SERIUOSLY improves both PRAT and Air, is from glowing jasmine-patchouli incense sticks held up by a burned-in shatki-stone holder. The stone needs to have a green-marker stripe on it at 45 degrees to the sticks while the stone itself sits on a large block of unfinished rock-maple that's spiked into the floor. The incense sticks themselves must be of hand-hewn myrtlewood and seasoned for at least three days in the urine of a in-season booroola-marino ewe...though I've heard that yak-urine also works.
