Metal speakers. How are they?


I notice that aluminum and magnesium cones have become very common, including in some high quality systems. What's the story on these things? I am considering purchase of a speaker that has Seas 7-inch magnesium woofers, in MTM configuration.

These speakers will replace Dynaudio Gemini MTM speakers whose little 5" woofers are great, but just won't keep up with my three MG1.6 + SW front speakers. I have contemplated rear subwoofers, but there just is not space. The Dynaudios were used for many years as the high end of a biamped system, and they were fine for that purpose.

I generally love speakers designed with the SEAS drivers even though I haven't been able to listen to all of them. They generally produce pristine sound that is quite beguiling and musical (live feel: piano sounds exceptionally good). According to one of the replies to my post, the SEAS drivers are hard to design with and one needs to choose the brand carefully.
