My woofers have always been fine, that is, free of any perceptible or visual cone movement and I have been an audiophile for over 50 years. My issue is with multiple drivers having a relatively high total radiating surface visibly flapping sloppily away without stop.
The demonstration in the video I provided does not use an analog playback source. Those are $30K speakers. With that kind of excursion I question how any reasonable design tolerances can be properly maintained or a uniform radiation pattern.
