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!

bdp24  noted your comment on the KEF B139,
I finally bought commercial speakers, (Monitor Audios) and decommissioned my homemade KEF speakers.
Have to say the B110 (dextrene?) I think still sound fantastic.
I`m making small subwoofer boxes for the B139s,still going strong after 35 years!
