Woofer Flutter

Is a slight amount bad for speakers (mine are Wilson Sophia 1)? My amp (McIntosh 7900) does not have a subsonic feature, so are there any add-on (RCA) products out there that can help with this? Sound is not affected.

I'm just wondering if I can damage a 20 year old woofer if the flutter persists. The fact that the sound quality is unaffected is the least of my concern.

It can overheat voice coils.. If they don't have internal bump stops.. Mercy It might try to jump out of the bore if the return springs were TOO sloppy.. 20 years is a while.. Regards
