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.

I prefer paper over any other cone material that I've heard. It is very light and very rigid for its weight. Nothing is perfect, paper has its flaws just like any other material. However, the statment that paper is only for low-fi speakers is very incorrect.
