its out there and most folks don't know it.
Magesium may be the most neutral voicing material for midwoofers. 

Thiel, Vandersteen, Wilson, 
These names mean absoluetly nothing to me, 
What I want to know is where did they buy their midwoofers,,and what kind of cone material  are they using.
Thats it.
Names signify nothing. 
UNless of course its 
Troel Gravesen
name of the spaker,, Then yeah,  I know I'm getting best bang cone material.
Not sure why Troels never designed a  dual W22 Magnesium + Cresendo tweeter.
For me, thats the ultimate speaker.
Ultimate.
WEll 2nd only to Dual Graphene W22's, 
But you are gonna need cash for that  one, Still alottttt less price vs Wilson's over rated Scanspeaks. 

Magnesium is some sort of super damp, yet extremely accurate bass/upper mids. 
sens is a  bit low at 87, 
Better go W18EX or even better W22EX,,or even more cash W22 Graphene, wow factor off the charts.

DavidLouis is alos sharing spot light with the Seas.
The lil Kasun paper tweet 91db sens, ain't no joke either.
Throw in Mundorf's Silver supremes, and = best bang for the speaker buck

I will have issues with the Wilson line, I know it. 
I never like a midrange in a  speaker. And the Wilson's will only confirm what I already know.

Hehehe. Well, for mid-woofers some of the best drivers on earth are the ScanSpeak Revelator/Illuminator lines. They are pretty advanced though, using a sandwich/resin technology, but essentially paper.

You’ll find these in several Wilson models, among others.

There are also some afficionado’s of the paper tweeter/midrange, but probably not me. :)

It’s not just about the materials. You can make both excellent and also very very bad speakers out of a lot of different materials. The design of the motor, suspension and integration with the overall design matter a great deal.

Personally aside from paper I’m generally a fan of composite materials (SS Revelator included) such as resin/Kevlar, the Focal W and resin/fiberglass. You can make some incredibly light and resonance free drivers this way.

One free piece of knowledge I got was from a slide from Focal, on how they sold their brand.  Consumers like you want modernity.  The idea that new = better, so many brands will sell you on that alone.  Modernity without necessarily an audible benefit, or different but not better. 

It takes a very confident audiophile to buy a bargain. :)
