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

Telescope_trade,

You may be on to something. She's really going to be upset if she slams one of my doors. My Magnepan's sounded so bad I ended up using them as doors. I didn't know what else to do with them. (To their credit, those speakers are a lot heaver than they look in the pictures.)

Rodman: You nailed it, they rattle. So assuming the glue has come unglued, what can be done about it? They're an older model MG 1.6 (fronts) MG CC2 (center) and I think they're obsolete.

Even if they could be repaired, would it be worth it?

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.
