Tweeters may be only partially defective?

[GroeneLeeuw]

Is it possible tweeters may be only partially defective? Working but not working properly?

My 2 cats have been able to drop my tower speakers to the floor several items, both of them.
One of the speakers fell down 3 times (the other 1x).

My speakers are Focal Chorus 727, each are 25kg each. At first I was even more worried for the cats then for the speakers itself, imagining a cat get a 25kg speaker on the head, it wouldn´t end well for the cat I suspect.

Now the issue: I hear very clear distortion on certain frequencies, I suspect mid-high frequencies and I suspect the tweeters are not working properly although visually all seems well and they do work (I hear sound if I approach my ear closeby).
Still trying to figure out if the distortion is indeed caused by the tweeters. So far found nothing else that may explain the issue.

Thank you in advance for the replies!

Well I know Bass drive units can, I have a pair that resonate hum below certain frequency's ( Castle Sevens sold as faulty that I paid £1.67 for) . You can find test tones on line, you tube for instance and play them to hear whats happening where.
