Gold Member Username: BestmankindFi AudioBTL Post Number: 7479 Registered: Oct-05 | i know the driver has lot to do with it. my question is why would a company choose to use a flat cone? according to them it gives off better sq. i doubt they would do it just for looks. |

The cone acts as a piston if properly designed regardless of actual shape. Flat, curvilinear, straight or odd with all sorts of pressed in shapes that look pretty made out of poly.... it really doesnt matter if it is rigid. Now for a full range or a speaker playing in a higher passband, cone shape and geometry makes a HUGE difference. Thanks... Scott |

Gold Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 1405 Registered: Mar-06 | if a cone is rigid it wont distort as bad and the way i look at it is a flat cone is the opposite of distortion so i would say it has better SQ jmho | |
