Mikem--Lower mass does not in itself mean more speed, you have to take into account the strength of the motor and the distance to be travelled. Compare normal hi-fi 9"s to a strong motored 15" driver like a JBL LE15 or an Altec 515. It's like you're saying a Hundai can do the quarter mile quicker than a Street Hemi can do the eigth mile just because it has less mass (remember the larger cone needs less excursion for a given volume and 2 9" don't equal a 15" in area). Actually "speed" has little or nothing to do with woofers anyway, I think the impression of speed in woofers is the sound of low distortion and good damping in some cases and just plain old lack of bass in others.
