Perhaps it's a case of be careful what you wish for.
Changing the surrounds and increasing the bass may sound better, or it may be too much if you have a small room.

IMO to use the deterioration in compliance of a driver surround as a design factor in a system is ethically wrong.
The surround is also used to absorb waves travelling along the cone from the V/C to prevent their reflection back to it, and a hardened one will be less absorbent, thus colouring the mid range with the reflected waves.
Changing bass O/P should be done in the driver/box alignment, and there are several means of doing it..
Well, by this logic, no one's sound "as they left the factory"
I've heard your speakers Jimbo, they were cracking!!
So have I , and in James room they sound excellent :)
As long as Jimbo can live with the fact that they have deteriorated from the original spec then that's OK then. Ignorance is bliss.
