I've got a pair of NS10 that I bought new about 15 years ago. I
noticed in the past few weeks, that they started sounding a little

it's just the tweeters that are gone or is it the crossovers or what?
Appreciate any help anyone can give.

In my experience, the best test for NS10s is to toss them into the Grand
Canyon and wait for their report upon landing. It should be much brighter
and twisted than the results from an accurate monitor.

A friend suggested trying them as doorstops ... if the door stays open,
they're functioning as intended.
