I have been wondering if anyone out there knows the advantages to the "new" wok-shaped metal drivers several speaker companies are now offering,{Sapphire, others, and now it seems Axiom). I don't think it is for aesthetic purposes, so it must be for sonic benefits?, or do some speaker mfgs. just buy them from "vendors",(whatever they may offer to spec. of course), and bolt them into their company's cabinets?
I think I will miss the black cone centers, if this is the "wave of the future".........hey, that might be a pun.
I like the "look"of aluminium drivers,(or the white
birch of Yamaha's HX's for example) and the contrasting black cone center.
