Took a closer look at them today. They've both been opened up and had somebody poking around inside.
One of them gives bass but no treble. The tweeter measures open circuit or a wire has dropped off. More likely o/c tweeter. The treble amp could also be faulty which may in turn have blown the tweeter.
I didn't bother to power the other one. All plug-in leads have been disconnected and the mains fuse has blown. Probably a PSU fault. Nothing looks overheated on the PCBs. On the plus side, both drivers show continuity.
So I've got what looks like:
2x good woofers
1x good tweeter
1x good PSU
1x good bass amp
The electronics is all fixable if needed and there are probably 3 good drivers so I'll treat them as a source of spares for my good pair.
