Whizzer cone drivers

According to my expirience as speaker designer , i am wondering why so  many companies  still making loudspeakers with wizzer cone drivers and  so many  guys fall in love with this products choosing small paper cone as a additonal tweeter prefering high quality tweeter made from top quality components.Yes, no crossover ( capacitor) , but still ?

It is mostly about the implementation.  Have you heard any of the Charney Audio speakers using such drivers?  These are surprisingly complete, smooth, and well balanced systems.  I like systems using such drivers as wide range drivers in multi-way systems, such as the Cube Audio Nenuphar Basis (powered woofer plus a fullrange driver).  

However, I have also heard some pretty rough, peaky sounding systems using these types of drivers; it is a matter of finding a good implementation of this approach to making speaker systems.
