Craig,

WOW, I would be horrified to find my entire system in standing water. My adivice would be this. I try to score some replacement EMIM & EMITS for the damaged drivers. Next I would remove the woofers from the bass towers and inspect the cabinets. Most speaker cabinets are assembled with MDF (medium density fiberboard) It is generally regarded as the best wood to use in construction of cabinets for it's dampening qualities. It's one flaw is once wet it tends to absorb water and swell. The swelling could cause the cabinets to swell and breach the integrity of the speaker cabinet. On this issue I would use your own judgement. Anyhow I would contact Bill Thalman at Musictechnology and pick his brain on your options.
