How to test used / ex-demo speakers?


Folks,

I've been offered a pair of active speakers that have been used by a retailer for demo purposes.

The speakers are about two years old and they're Active.

Just wondering if there any method to test them and make sure they perform the should.

In fact, I have heard that pair and done visual observation so it seems to be ok.

Any thoughts how to test their built in amp etc, may be to turn them up and down for few times to identify wrong sound or whatsoever?!?!

Would appriciate your help

Cheers

What speakers are they? Is this a model that has been around for five years? Do they provide customer support?

If so then you can always repair/maintain them. Not many manufacturers make their own drivers and are consistently able to offer good support ten or many more years down the road - but the well known names do - just avoid a "boutique"name if you are worried about long term reliability/service.
I'd prefer to buy used/demo any time. So many speakers need several hundred hours to break in. Let the dealer do it for you and still give a warranty!
