Wet Speakers

I had a leak in a shed where I was storing 10 speakers of different makes and values, and all of the boxes got wet and some of the speakers are soaked. Am I up the creek here, or is there a fix, or does anybody in the LA area want a bunch of speakers they can futz round with?

Mike: I guess the question would be how much water for how long? Were these speakers doped as well which might make a difference? All this said, water and paper is not a good combination. :(

Dry them out by putting absorbant material next to them and then take them for a test drive.

I suspect that you may be fine with some of them.

I can't tell you how many speakers we've had repaired or upgraded by the folks over the years.

Thanks John. I know these guys are top notch, but the speakers I have are a bunch of Wharfedales out of my AC30 and AC15 and a few other low end ones that would cost more to fix than I could sell them for.
