ADS L810


I have enjoyed my ADS L810 speakers since I got them in 1980.  Lately, I have noticed some distortion coming out of one of the midrange drivers from the right channel even at low volume.    In order to troubleshoot the problem (speaker, program source, or wiring), I switched speaker connections,….. R-L and L-R.  The distortion moved to the left channel.  So, I narrowed the problem to the speaker itself. Although I have taken good care of them, I realize that speaker components cannot last forever.  There is no obvious external damage to the speaker.  Can anyone provide me with any input as to how I can further troubleshoot this speaker? 


Thank you very much for your assistance on this matter.

Sorry folks,  I miscommunicated on my note.  I switched the speakers themselves, not the connections, and the same speaker that had distorted earlier distorted on the other channel. That's how I came up with my conclusion.
Thanks to all for your quick responses and suggestions.  I have already contacted Richard So about my issue.  He seems to be the right person to address the problem. I plan to further troubleshoot and send him the component(s) in question at the beginning of the year.

In the meantime, I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe Holiday Season!
