Favorite Tube Speaker Match


Two arguements - paper is too dark for tubes, and actually metal cones give some life to the music that isn't there otherwise. Arguement two: the smooth rich sound of paper cones always is a cut above.

Has anyone ever heard ceramic cones with a tube amp? If so what were the components?

Anyone have a favorite combo they have heard? I heard an Airtight with Opera Piega which I thought could not be beat.

It's funny how everyone has mentioned the paper vs. metal or kevlar debate. Or electrostat's/ribbons, although I guess it's not really applicable to what I'm about to ask.

Which is:

Why in the cone speaker debate does everyone leave out the differences between nickel-cadmium and neodymium magnets?

Anyone have better experiences with one or the other? I know neodymium is supposed to be "faster" sounding, but I don't know that I have ever heard it with paper cones.
Jburidan, I agree wholeheartedly with your post. That's why I love tubed equipment. Just by rolling the signal tubes you have whatever sound you desire.

Triangles. They are tipped up in the treble which makes a good match. And very efficient
i have had all materials, and paper sounds the best to my ears. I have used tube amps from McIntosh, Dynaco, Berning, SET's, PP, you name them, and the I just am drawn at how natural and dynamic in a good way the paper drivers sound.

I dont think the material that makes the magnet is as impoartant as people wants us to believe. I also had all kinds of magnet types..ainico, ceramic, neo...etc
Well, My favourite combo is Bozak B-410's driven by a Berning EA-230 triode amp. After that comes EV12trxb's driven by 2A3 SET's.
