Aparent speaker damage


Hi guys,
I have a little question. I was moving my Quad 11L monitors to a different position and one of them fell from it´s stand. It made me so sad.
Now I have the feeling that in very high notes, I hear a very shrill sound, like broken glass. From the outside the speaker looks undamaged. Could something have happened inside it? Do you know if there´s anything delicate, breakable inside?
I guess if it is not the speaker it must just be the new positions that is producing this noise. (Or perhaps a new plant I just got with very big leaves?),
Thanks, sorry to bring up this kind of subject...

After you switched the position of the speakers open the cabinet to see if anything fell off the back of the driver(s) like the magnet, or crossover components, and etc. Make sure all components are tight and not dangling around inside. Also make sure the wires are snug and fitting properly on the crossover and post.
I received a speaker once where in shipping the magnet structure had fallen off the rear of the driver and hit the crossover causing many problems. I hope you didn't experience any cabinet damage. Good Luck!
