Non-subjective speaker test at home


I have a pair of older speakers.  Sound great to me.  Are there some simple tests one can do at home with a test record or test cd that they are still in great condition.  I know all speaker elements produce clean sound.  What else?

If they sound good to you a month from now then that's enough.

Speaker testing is not a science (outside $$$$$$ r&d facilities). There's just too many variables, the recording, the room, etc.

Whilst there's no such thing as a recording that sounds like real life I find that video recordings of friends and family can often sound spookily close to the real thing even on cheap speakers. Voices are revealing.
