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.

Mozart….just a bit of effort on your part will reveal that Vandersteen builds unique balsa core, carbon fiber and aluminum honeycomb ( sub ) cones for integration into Scanspeak bespoke frames and motor assy, including unique to Vandy aerodynamic structures. 

A partnership with Scanspeak that spans decades…

You may on self reflection discover that this post is not really a reply to you…

Should the cone move in phase to the input signal over entire surface in the band pass ?

IF not, what would you call that out of phase output ?
More to discover
