I'm interested to get peoples thoughts on this. I never really wanted to believe this was true, but today I noticed that my system sounded a bit more open after it played for a while. This could of course be bias on my part, but I really want thinking about until I returned to my listening room after taking a call and heard the song I hear playing.
I was always the first to dismiss this, but I've done some reading regarding thermal compression (i.e. drivers performance declines if the drive units heat up past a certain point). I'm assuming there is an optimal temperature for everything thing and after 30 min or so they system reached they temperature.
Curious to hear peoples thoughts behind this, but the only scientific reason I can think of is related to thermal expansion, but my knowledge of electromagnetism is extremely limited to would be great to see if other people know of this and if anyone can offer a more concrete explanation or expand on my hypothesis if it is in fact the right way to think about it.
As a side note, I know the thermal expansion co-efficients are quite small, but know they can have an effect in precision applications, just wondering if audio is one of those applications (I know we would like to think it is).
