Can speakers be tested?

I think my Magneplars have been damaged by UV light. I had strong sun coming through large windows and passing across the speakers for at least two summers.

They weren't connected at the time but I recently hooked them up and they suck!

Can they be tested to see how much they vary from spec?

Thanks - rev

revnice,
The delamination is not a hard fix. There are folks around here who have done it themselves. If you start a new thread titled need help with magnepan delamination you might get a response.

UV and humidity are known to cause delamination in older models. I think having strong UV pass though a mylar polymer is a really bad idea. Since they haven't been used in a very long time, its worth letting them play for 20 hours or so before you make a judgement, but I think it is not unlikely that degredation of the mylar and or glue that holds the wires to the mylar has been damaged.
