You may have your beliefs, and I may have mine.
I did the damping incrementally BY EAR, and how it sounds to me is ALL that matters, versus theoretical approaches.
Damping applies not only to speakers, but to EVERY component in the audio chain. For example, my crossovers sound best to me at 12.5 to 14 pounds. My amp sounds best with SIX building bricks on it.
Too much damping KILLS the sound. There is a sweet spot, on all equipment. Determined by EAR.
Maybe it had to do simultaneously with mass loading and damping, but who cares WHY, all I care about is what sounds best !!!!!!
Have fun, I am.
