Yamaha NS 1000M left right difference

I have a pair in good shape. I have been listening for them for a few months and enjoyed them very much.
Lately I started feeling the sound is not even between them.

I think the left speaker sounds a bit better more open and clear in mids and highs. It seems like it has slightly higher volume than the other one. It is very subtle but I tested myself for sometime to be sure this is what I hear. I may also be wrong.

They have high and mid L-Pads. The L-Pads are not acting the same. On the left, the one I feel is better, both L-Pads shut the sound (mid or high) when turned all the way left (below -3db). On the right one both do not.
 
Does anyone has experience with it or knows how it should behave when it's working well?
Any idea how I can test the speakers it to be know if they are acting exactly the same or not?

Swap the left and right speaker just to make sure that your room is not causing some type of anomaly due to the speakers position in the room. This will also insure both of your ears are hearing things the same (or not the same if the anomaly follows the speaker).

BTW, L-pads / potentiometers are notorious for having issues as they age. Have you tried cleaning them?
