My AN-J's have paper mid/woofers and I could not be happier. Natural sounding detailed and musical in the extreme. I will probably stick with AN speakers and paper drivers in the future if I ever decide to change or upgrade.
Paper Based Speaker Cone Question
I am considering a pair of Ohm Walsh speakers, likely the beta Super Sound Cylinders or the beta 3.3010s with the integral powered subwoofers. Ohm has indicated to me that the speaker cones are made from a paper based material. Should this concern me or not considering the pricing is around $5k to $6k / speaker pair? Can paper based speaker cones perform properly and have reasonable durability? Are there other similar cost speakers with paper cones?
