Will storing used speakers for 1 year damage it?



I am seriously considering a pair of used Nautilus 803’s which are being sold for a good price. However, I won’t be able to use them until I move to my new place which is about a year from now.

Question – will storing a used speaker for a year damage it? If no, what is the best way to store the speaker?

Thanks.

Ha ha ha... funny reply. Thanks for the thoughts on how to keep the speakers.

My reasons for buying now:
1) I live in the Philippines and the peso (our currency has been devaluating around 10% a year). The speakers will be 10% more expensive next year. Current price of the pair is $2,700, flawless condition used for only 6 months. Is that a good price?
2) The used market in my country is not as common as in the US and my budget will only allow me to get 804's so to get an 803 thats is almost like new is a steal. he he he... I heard the 803 vs. 804. No comparison.
3) I presume that speakers do not change much and there wont be a super duper speaker technology breakthrough in a year. If it does happen I will kill myself :)
Will audition the 803's this afternoon. Hope that they are as flawless and the seller says ha ha ha.

The good thing about the philippines is that the temperature doesnt change much. 26-30 C all year round. I will just seal the speaker in plastic. Box it and but a lot of moisture absorbing bags around the area he he he.

BTW the speakers are priced 60% of SRP with the $2700 price tag. Will try to get it down to $2500.

Hmm... next question. What amp is good with these? I have a mark levinson amp :)
