I believe cone material is only one small piece of the puzzle. Speaker design is as much an art as a science. My pair of Vandersteen 2Wq subs, now discontinued, have never been anything less than super musical, powerful and of a piece with my mains. The only hitch is that your mains must be close to flat down to 40Hz.
Best sub for music,
Not HT, repeat not the boomboomboom of HT effects. which does not offer the high fidelity of musical sub bass (20hz-40hz)
I'd have to go with the seas W26E001. which has a magnesium/aluminum cone.
What that raitio is, not sure, seems 50/50.
None of us here like the sound of those old aluminum cones. But my guess is Seas had to incorporate some alumium inorder to gain the 20-30hz and also mabe keep costs down.
This YT vid says **Aluminum cone** which is confusing YTers.
Its a composite, and perhaps the best ture woofer on the market.
Been around for ages, still hard to beat for pure natural low mids. .
Magesium is the best material to keep unwanted resonances out in the 60-1k range, very low/hardly measurable distortion.
The issue here tops out at 1k, so its really a sub.
This woofer may be a good candidate to pair with a 5 inch wide band.
