I had some paper drivers driven by tube for some time, it was very "Lush" and good but was a Horn system, this would be in my eye considered a very forgiving system in general... But Paper to me always sounds better than even the most advanced Kevlar or whatever else they can throw at you, more natural, and plays just about every frequency naturally, as soon as you add metal or carbon fiber they seem to react different and unless it is the sound you are looking for sometimes they ring a little off colored... But for low Frequency stuff, metal and carbon's can be pretty good they take a beating without breaking up, but so can some of the best paper drivers. So hearing it is key.
And I also agree go back to the basics and just make it better, "paper" should be considered a standard if done right, for the acoustical sense they have, get too much composite's and metal whatever and they introduce other issues.
