Hmm, i would argue that MMS doesn't play a role in bass response, but when we are talking mid-high... not 100% certain, sure, on paper its all numbers, but im willing to bet my left nut, if you had two identical drivers, but only difference would be weight of membrane for example, it would "sound" different.
But yeah, 6 per channel was my overly optimistic estimate 😀 10-12 per channel seems more realistic.
Btw, all of this is theory crafting, not planing on building this anytime soon.

It might sound different, but that would be reflected in the frequency response - and either one could sound "better" (as it's nothing to do with Mms, per se). Forget Mms, it's a complete distraction - concentrate your efforts on Xmax and fs.
I think you're not going to get what you want, unfortunately.
As I understand it, that for a resonating mass like a driver, Fs is determined by Mms & Cms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiele/Small_parameters#Small_signal_parameters.
So, as Mms reduces, Fs increases - the exact opposite of what you want.
To get Fs back down, Cms must therefore increase, which leads to problems with stability & linearity as mentioned earlier in the thread (and makes it easier to damage the driver by overdriving it).
So, if you want Low Mass and Low Fs, you're going to have to invest a lot in making sure the stability etc are sorted out - so you're not going to get Low Cost as well.
