Are dome midrange better than cone designs?


I have noticed that companies like ATC and Audio Technology use a dome midrange. Is there and advantage to the dome design? It does not seem to be used much.

The dome mids I've heard on Infinity Kappas and Energy Veritas excelled with sax, woodwinds and to some degree with female vocals. They had a breathing quality rivalling ribbons and 'stat's. Because of limited bandwidth, they are best on 4-way or limited 3-way designs.
