Interesting that on both pair of Frieds I had in the 80s-90s it was the paper cones that eventually failed.
Paper cone woofers died in 1962 .... a look back
Stereophile re-published an article from 1962 by Irving Fried predicting the death of the paper cone driver was soon upon us.

Though much did not come to pass, it is an interesting read, which includes discussions of the near predecessor to Focal’s W sandwich cones.
Enjoy!
