Umm...  no.  If they have the same frequency but different x_max, the
one with larger x_max will move with a greater average velocity,
greater v_max, etc.  Just think about it for a moment - it has a larger
distance to go in the same time.

True - that's called phase.  If the phase response of the speaker

The first part is wrong, see above.  The second part is also wrong -
conventional cones are fixed at the edges, so clearly the speed can not
be (and is not) constant across the area.
