HELP! Large speakers fell over during shipping.


Bought a pair of Dali Euphonia MS5 speakers. They must have fallen over during shipping. They were upside down on the pallet when they got to my house. 155Lbs for each box.
My question is, what could have happened internally? Could drivers be harmed? Crossovers? I refused delivery, but now the seller wants them re-delivered so the insurance agent can look them over. I never took them out of the (destroyed) boxes, but now I’ll have a chance to, and check them out. What should I look for (even if they still sound good)?

Typically, the speaker will be suspended within the crate.  If they experienced a violent impact the woofer cones could be damaged as the magnets have quite a bit of mass. 
And to think, people get on my case when I complain about the utter lack of reading comprehension around here.

Two possible explanations.  The two post are 1 minute apart, therefore, he could be responding at the same time, OR, like many forum participants, he merely skips and doesn’t read your posts.
