Hi,

I live in south India my room is in the second floor. We have some heat reducing tiles installed and my room has aircon. However when i am out i dont turn it on and the average temperature in the city tends to be around 32deg cel. My room is very hot at times and i turn on aircon when i am in, keeping the temp down about 24 deg cel. I have wharfedale diamond 9.5 speakers. Is that temprature and sudden change of temperature when i turn on AC bad for my speakers. Please advice.

Hello,

I dare say it does get hot in Southern India but I would not be too concerned. High humidity has an effect on wood but it is likely better to be humid than too dry. As for the speaker drivers, I would think they would be fine. You cannot reduce the hotter indoor temperature when you return home suddenly with AC...but over a period of time. The speakers should endure no special shock because of this.

Will constant heat and cooling cycles involving temperature swings of 8-10 deg. Centigrade or more shorten the ultimate lifespan of the speakers? Perhaps. But you will likely be ready to replace them by then.

Enjoy.

Hi,

Thanks for helping me clear things out.
