Whizzer cone drivers


According to my expirience as speaker designer , i am wondering why so  many companies  still making loudspeakers with wizzer cone drivers and  so many  guys fall in love with this products choosing small paper cone as a additonal tweeter prefering high quality tweeter made from top quality components.Yes, no crossover ( capacitor) , but still ?

I have Moth Audio Cicadas on my TV system, I stare at those whizzer cones all day! 

My wife wanted me to buy the Cicada's way back when (her favorite color is Red).

I hate even seeing them. Though they can balance out a driver, I feel that the driver was inadequate, to begin with. You are trying to get something out of a speaker than what the cone sans the Whizzer can produce. It is a cheap bridge from say having a single-driver system, compared to a two or three-driver system. I have a meter that graphically shows me a graph including the immediate frequency and the sustained fall-off. You can get an app for your celliophone that shows you a similar representation, 'Decibel X'. I have the ability to take an individual speaker out of the circuit and see what is left. and yes there are tones made by the larger speakers that MIGHT in some ways fill in the upper tones, but I build crossovers with the intention of taking those frequencies OUT and leaving it up to the next higher-frequency speaker to take over. If you don't like what a bookshelf speaker sounds like you have the option of getting a stand-mounted or floor-standing speaker, to begin with.
