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.
With loudspeakers, it's the total design and how the parts are utilized to achieve the designer's end goals whatever those maybe focusing on one aspect of a transducer's design is moot.
