This might be a silly question but if one has the same speakers for front and rear surrounds, and since the front surrounds get more work than the rear surrounds, should they be periodically switched, much like rotating tires?

    Interesting thought, that I never considered much before. Hope to hear what others think, as I can only guess. I would think it could be beneficial, not sure at what intervals it should be done. Hmmm would you want to make a switch after the initial burn in and then at regular intervals? Would it be extending the overall lifespan, or just exercise drivers and electronics over a greater range of movement/freq.?? Hmmm
    This is interesting to ponder, but the benefit might be so miniscule in reality it would not be worth it. Especially with the way many change out speakers looking for something different/better.
