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?

Sheffield Labs drum track. Turn it up to 110dB.

Also rebuild or replace tweeters as the ferrofluid dries out after as little as two years. (ferrofluid drying out could be one of the reasons people report break-in of 600+ hours - common speaker designs are inadequate and run the tweeters very hot on loud music - obvious from soundstage speaker linearity tests like Magico S5- and once the ferro fluid dries out from the heat then the sensitivity of the tweeter drops and the speaker will sound less detailed and a bit smoother or duller)
