Although I don't know whether this would be audible, I agree that whether by bending the bar or whatever, they would increase the gap and therefore decrease low-level dynamics.
My 3.3s, especially one of them is prone to the slap, but only on movies or it's also very easy to produce using the Lorde CD which has exaggerated bass. On other music I do not get it, so I'm not too concerned. I always wondered whether my ~300W amp straight into my woofer could be clipping, but I do not think so. I think it's mechanical. I wondered whether this would greatly accelerate aging or damage, since I adjust movies to just where it happens a little on the action movie explosions, etc. I watch movies w/ the pause button nearby.
