har har.
Surrounds (foam ones) can rot away. Adhesives can dry out and become brittle. In some cases, I've seen metals on motors "rot" and corrode.
If stored vertically, cones can sag - the suspensions do get impacted by gravity. On their backs may result in cones sagging towards the motor. Gravity again. Just in another direction. ;-)
If they get wet, they can mold. I had a MDF sub box get wet and thought it was okay after it dried out. When I went to remove the woofer, it was full of mold. Good think it was in a closed boxed design with no port...
Like speakers, we're here for a good time not a long time.
If you're not using them, sell them.
I have "special to me" speakers components I will one-day need to get rid of. My kids will toss them into a landfill, not knowing what they are or how to get to someone who knows their value if they did.
Live for today I say. Keep switching between speakers and components.
That's where the fun is.
Having a perfected system is fun for a while. Until it's not.
Cheers,
Presto
