RE: This Is Very Close To My Opinion On This Issue.

"If you apply the same force you used to accelerate the loudspeaker in the opposite direction then it will slow down at the same rate it accelerated."

Oh you thinks so? Maybe the voice coil will but what about the rest of the cone? It is not infinitely rigid (or anything remotely close to that) and will flex and vibrate and if that membrane is very rigid it will be a nasty break up. This is a physical fact and shows up in most driver measurements. It is also audible, BTW.

"The air they move has mass. If you use a membrane to move air and the air has significantly more mass than the membrane then how important is the mass of the membrane?"

Yes the air all musical instruments moves has mass as well, what exactly is your point? This would not be a coloration from the driver now would it?

"A more relevant parameter is the strength of the force doing the moving to the mass that is being moved."

Again, while relevant the point is that unless the driver doesn't flex it is far from the only relevancy in discussion here.
