chances are they will never sound the same and afterthey are dry might havea bit of crackling and such but should be good other wise ..

I know there fixed now, but a idea for the future, put them in a bowl of rice for a few days, it worked with my camera and phone, haha :)

Well, you can't judge if they work until they are dry, so put them somewhere warm, in a bowl of rice, give it a couple of days, and see what happens, that's all you can do.

Low power drivers are pretty simple. If it was water they may only sustain some light oxidation and may work just fine and even last a while. Something with a lower PH value like soft drinks, coffee (cafe) or juice would cause corrosion. In that case I would suggest preparing to replace them just in case. I lost a $300 floor monitor from an accidental beer spill while playing at a party in the early 90s. I almost cried.

It depends on what the speakers are made out of to some degree. Around 2005 I bought a new pair of Sony headphones(MDR-V150), and for whatever reason, they decided to use some kind of paper for the speaker. Those didn't fair that well with moisture at all.
