Speaker Driver Material & The Sound of Dissimilar Materials


Can anyone explain(NOT anecdotally)how it is possible for a driver made of metal(aluminum etc..)to properly convey the tone of wood & how a wood/pulp or plastic based driver can convey properly the tone of metal(electric guitar strings,cymbals)?This is a very confusing concept to me...

    Simply said.

 A piston (cone) speaker is nothing more than a AIR PUMP.

 A given material has nothing to do with it's sonic signature.( Woody) or Steely. But has everything to do with the speed & ease in which it responds to the electrical signal variances from the AMP. Sure materials vary from Mfg to Mfg only because they are sure that cone made from there proprietary  Nirvana X material.IS ABSOLUTE!!

Clarity hopefully,
