Chipped speaker magnet, does it affect the sound?

Got two speakers delivered and one of them has a chip on the magnet, like the box was dropped and the corner of the mag hit concrete. I can see the piece that broke shattered because there are really small magnet shards stuck to the magnet all over the place. Easy to clean, and common sense says with a magnet this big, a chip about the size of a grain of rice won't make a difference. Just want to be sure though as I've never experienced this. Dope who packed them up bolted the speakers together face to face, only had a piece of Styrofoam about a quarter inch thick in the box for packing, and the "speaker bundle" was in the box cattycorner making for easy magnet damage. The box had a big hole in the side too which freaked me out, but there are no marks on the cones.

Should be fine. You'll not notice the gauss loss with a small chip at all
