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

Agree with @brownsfan address the crossovers first and look for compromised electrolytics, or if they look really old replace them anyway (nichicon non polars and mundorfs from parts connexion are OK). If you decide to use films as replacements get some electrolytics as well, because you not actually prefer the final result.

If that doesn’t fix your problem progress onto the ferrofluid.
