Paper Cones in HiFi?


I may be naive or uninformed but I've noticed several speaker mfrs using paper cones in speakers priced over $2k (ie Vienna Acoustics Bach and Sonus Faber Grand Piano). I always thought paper cones were for low end Radio Shack speakers.

Can some please educate me.

Thanks.

If you have a white paper (report), all materials sound good. Of course, that can be misconstrued as racist, so we have to say that whatever color cone paper you have is good, just to be equitable. And, to be inclusive we have to say that whatever material you use, it has to be accepted - no endorsed! Performance doesn’t matter; inclusivity is most important. The cone has to feel good about itself. ;)


It takes a person who judges sound quality by dollars to buy a bargain!  :)

Then, they will pretend they have the "best" sound. It's how budget HiFi works.
