Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Small amounts of other metals are often added. Crucially the proportions of all the contituents is variable. So the content of brass is not fixed as for say iron.
Point no.1 Not all brass is the same, so why expect the same results?
Brass is non-magnetic (if there is no iron in the mix). Speaker drivers have big powerful magnets in them. In the case of a smallish speaker the fixing screws will be within a few inches of the magnet and within its magnetic field.
Point no.2 Clearly the lack of magnetism in the fixing screws will have a real and MEASURABLE effect on the action of the magnet on the driving coil, as compared with steel/iron fixing screws.
