Driver Qts (Qes and Qms)

[Bent]

Can someone describe t me how a low Qts driver sounds compared to a higher Qts driver?
My understanding is "Q" describes a driver's behavior around resonance (Fs), and that a low Q driver has a wider range of resonance than a higher Q driver, meaning a low Q driver at a frequency close to, but not at resonance, it will still resonate to a higher degree then a higher Q driver at the same proximity to resonant frequency.
If I'm correct then I can envision the real world effects of it, but I'm not sure if I'm correct.

I think you already understand what is going on: a low Q system (I say system and not driver, because you rarely listen to an individual driver without some sort of box or equalization) has a gradual, early roll-off. A high Q system has steeper roll-off that starts at a lower frequency and it has stronger emphasis of the resonance frequency.

(...) meaning a low Q driver at a frequency close to, but not at resonance, it will still resonate to a higher degree then a higher Q driver at the same proximity to resonant frequency.

I believe that to be true.

As the Q of a driver is generally lower than 1.0, it radiates less sound energy at its resonance frequency than at frequencies where cone-motion purely mass-controlled. That means a low Q driver at a frequency close to, but not at resonance will radiate energy to a lower degree than a higher Q driver at the same proximity to resonant frequency. Q is the inverse of damping, so a lower Q means the resonance is more damped.
