There could have maybe been some hidden damage when I got them but they sounded alright. Of course, this has been many years and nights of sleep ago, too.
Actually, I have heard of the midrange or tweeter failing, I can't imagine what it would
take for that to happen, other than distortion or clipping. As with all speakers, we can't,
go to crazy, with speakers 25 yrs old, it goes without saying. I know my pair, have been
very durable, and sound excellent, Ive had a few current/new sets borrowed from
friends, and these always go back on duty, there's nothing out there under $500, that
compare, IMO, I listen to Rock/Metal, and these are a perfect fit.
