BoenickeAudio's "unique" wood speaker driver?

Evening Goners!

I have been intrigued has to the Boenicke w-13se and it's "Wood" midband driver.

Not much on it alone in reviews/technical reports.

Hoping some here will have a site tip for me to look at or can explain the design/ choice of this unusual idea?

Thanks all!

Same here.  I find it very intriguing and I'm not aware of other speakers using a similar driver.  (Though I'm sure there are some).
I'd like to know more!

JVC sold a wooden cone speaker in 2005. You can also buy them online for DIY. The idea is that wood is musical and imparts a pleasant tone.

Tang Band makes a range of bamboo-coned drivers.  Bache uses them in his speakers.

Thanks all but WHY?
Is it simply a "tone control" issue or are there other benefits to using them?
I do not think someone like Sven would risk using it just to save a few dollars as he seems relentlessly inventive!
