It would be unlikely he would blow both mids and not any other drivers on that speaker as well as any of the other three speakers.
He does need to isolate the driver and test at the least
One simple test. gently push the cone on and out and listen for coil rub.
He needs to find another stereo and try the speakers on that. Or as mentioned - a clean signal.
Otherwise he needs to start looking at his HT amp.

I have the Thiel CS 3.6 speakers that were exhibiting the same problem that sounded distorted on the one speaker. Tried to isolate them by checking all the drivers, which includes testing the X-over networks. Everything was fine. Then one day the highs was gone. It turned out that the tweeter was blown. Luckily enough Thiel was able to replaced it for me.I tried to figured out as to how the tweeter got blown in the first place and what caused it. Then it dawned on me, during the New Year's eve festivities I was using them for Karaoke duties. But the funny thing was how come it only happened on one of the tweeters. Oh well it's probably one of those mysteries that I will never be able to figure out.
BTW, ever since I forbid the Thiels from doing the Karaoke duties, it has been behaving well.
If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing well

I think that's the nature of those things. High frequency movement and one day - poof.
Funny that you thought the same thing about it being the mids. Hope the OP is reading that.
