Differentiating audibly between bad caps and bad Ferro fluid


Is there any way to differentiate, audibly, between worn caps vs dried up or mucked up Ferro fluid? My JBL and other speaker tweeters ARE working, but high end informbut high end information seems off to me. Opinions? Thank you

Old ferrofluid makes the highs sound flat, you lose the upper midrange. I thought it was the best thing when I discovered it after frying my tweeters but after a while, I found out how bad that stuff actually is. Much greater improvement than changing capacitors for me. I'd do both but ditch those tweeters or at least change the fluid first.
