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.

Actually the perfect driver is one which combines the best tonal aspects of both schools.One such driver is the Gorlich from Germany.Amazing tone and speed.
Well not true actually,Tannoy uses Alcomax3 magnets with their Prestige series paper cones.Speaking of Neo structures and paper, SEAS has a 6.5" mid bass in the Excel series using paper.
