Whoa. Interesting. Just the speakers probably aren't expensive. But maybe try unplugging and replugging them before ordering new ones?

If it was that hot for that long, there's a good chance the glue in the cones let loose. It's probably safe to say they're toast, hopefully they can be swapped easily.

Not sure about the 40 series, but the 30 series can. Just need to find the right part.
