I have 2 3-way KLH bookshelf speakers that are going to waste because it seems I don't use my CD player anymore, just my computer. These speakers are barely used, less than 10 hours total. I am wondering what, if any, kind of damage would be done to them if put in a bathroom. I know condensation and steam from the shower would probably damage them, but if they were mounted on a shelf high above anything that would spill on them, how long would they last? Would they be ruined in a week? or would it take several years? Thanks for any info,

Rich

The humidity might warp the paper cones and might peel the veneer from the cabinets. Those are the two things I'd watch for.

Don't mount them too high [message #14492 is a reply to message #14489] Tue, 20 January 2004 12:29 Go to previous messageGo to next message

Steam rises and hovers along the ceiling.

Do you really want to be mucking around with audio and listening to music in your bathroom?

I wouldn't be. If I had it installed, I'd probably get sick of it and end up not usin 'em. Turning on music every time you go to the bathroom for just a few minutes and then turning them off again would get to be an annoyance IMO.
