panels vs cones which is best and why ?


i personally have a hard time owning cones in a box--even a single driver.

there are ceratain colorations which are discernible over time which are annoying.

aside from radiating pattern and questions of bass extension, i see little objection to panels--sonically speaking.

my observation about cone speakers is that for many cone designs the audible flaws make ownership for an extended period of time a challenge.

i personally have a problem with the upper mids and lower treble response from a dome tweeter.

in all i think it is harder to design a "good" cone than a "good" panel, and yet cones are more popular--go figure.
