Speaker possibly damaged - help needed

Just curious on how I can test my speakers for damage, I tried low level and louder level tests on drums and music, seemed ok although 1 specific track the snare did seem a little crackly at first bli think.

* I had the default 2 or 3rd order crossover set at 70hz - hopefully helped.

Thanks everyone.

* my Oppo 105 I use has has been playing up and the preamp volume control wasnt working up or down (due to an ongoing issue).

I reset the preamp level settings and then put it back to where it was but instead the preamp levels were at default FULL level +4 dbu !!! while my amp was already turning sort loud. wow!

this caused some VERY loud music for 2 seconds max then I acted like a ninja the next and muted.

* speakers are b&W 705 s2, kind of expensive so I want to be sure.

You could run sweeps of test tones. If you don't hear anything obvious and consistently wrong now, tho, probably not a worry. You must use the Oppo as pre-amp?
