High Efficiency Loudspeakers

Excuse me bache my mistake. You would never use solid wood to make a speaker cone as it's shape will change with humidity so I assume it is some kind of laminate. Since the cone has to move it has to be light. It also has to be very stiff. It has to be tough enough to tolerate at least a little abuse. IMHO there are much better synthetic materials to make cones out of. Yes they look nice but that is not the point. Looks really should not mater. It is all about the sound. If there was something special about wooden cones other manufacturers would have already considered it. One would have to assume it is a marketing tactic. So, I would approach these with a bit of skepticism. I would not only listen to them but I would want to speak to long term owners to get an idea of their longevity.  

there are a couple really good interviews on YouTube with Voxative's  designer she explains how they are made and why she used wood. 

 short of it was the wood has lower mass then the paper ones and is  much stiffer. 

google Voxative on YouTube ( Steve Gothenburg did one and others  others) 

I think you are slightly wrong , i think is he , not she 

Wood cones are definitely worth exploring given there will inevitably be trade off between the usual gains and losses. Gains include slight increase in tonal density, losses include a slight loss of apparent speed.

My JVC mini system sounds fabulous, albeit on a small scale with a pair of wood cones bookshelves.

If this JVC blurb is to be believed birch seems to the best wood of choice.

I look at drivers voicing/accuracy/percision/soundstage, 1st,,,then i ck db #'s. SEAS has low db, but incredible hifidelidty,,even better db ratings are SB and possibly equal/superior. I choose speaker 1st, THEN amp. 

if you havea  $50K amp and a  2 cent sounding speaker =  2 cent sounding amp. Go figure.
