Black Diamond Cones for speakers?

will the BDR cones work for speakers? I am considering them as they do not look like they will scratch floors

I used BDR's under my kestral hotrods and they were not at all compatable. It may have been the combo of my parquet over concrete slab floor with the cones but what I ended up with was an annoying upper midrange exaggeration and a thinning out of midbass - not fun! It's too bad as they threaded perfectly into my speaker. Went to a vibropod-like material and was much happier. YMMV.

One set certainly was what they recommended for a tube pre-amp. These I had lying around. A bought another set of 3 just to complete the set of 6 for the 2 speakers, so it's very possible I was mix and matching 3's and 4's. If you don't mind experimenting or you can return the cones give it a try. Under my room/speaker conditions they were not a good match. Doesn't mean they won't do it for you.
