HELP! Large speakers fell over during shipping.

Bought a pair of Dali Euphonia MS5 speakers. They must have fallen over during shipping. They were upside down on the pallet when they got to my house. 155Lbs for each box.
My question is, what could have happened internally? Could drivers be harmed? Crossovers? I refused delivery, but now the seller wants them re-delivered so the insurance agent can look them over. I never took them out of the (destroyed) boxes, but now I’ll have a chance to, and check them out. What should I look for (even if they still sound good)?

MC is always blowing his horn over Tekton. I found their packaging the flimsiest in the business, no better than the kind of cardboard you would get a dress shirt in. This is my experience from 2012 when I bought the Pendragons. Both speakers arrived damaged and the cheap styrofoam corners in the box had completely disintegrated by the time they reached my home. FedEx delivered them. Eric Alexander was quite the A hole to me when I called about the damage and complained how flimsy the shipping cartons were. I wouldn’t buy a toothpick from that company and all the tweeters in his MOAB speakers are made in........CHINA.

After MC bashes everything from China, he buys a speaker with many Chinese made tweeters. His Melody amp may be based in Australia but it too is built in China. Can we say hypocrite?
