Hi snup,
Please try and be more serious when making a reply in a thread. Most of your comments don't contribute or further advance the conversation taking place. Even worse, many comments don't even make sense.
Be fair to everyone and put some thought into your replies.

Hey snup,
Before this gets unpleasant,
I noticed a 'spray' of posts from you in a couple of threads and I fully agree with anatech but am trying to give it more nuance.
At DIYaudio we try to keep our threads toight

and sweet
or else threads read
w a y
t . . o . . . o
l

g
and the technical conversation is lost.
It almost seems like you're txting (lots of short, quick messages) one of your friends ... that's cool but that makes for a hard-to-follow thread which isn't what we want on do-it-yourself-audio-dot-com.
Think more of giving little speeches
[instead of a blah-blah-blah to a friend]
but rather to a pegged audioence

Like your contributions, tib-bits and jokes; just mix 5 of them into one post. 😉
Cheers,
Jeff

Great truth Kindhornman.There truly is a balance needed between the stiffness and damping properties of any cone and this is truly why paper composite cones are still the preferred material for the vast majority of cone drivers.
I experienced exactly the same.There truly is a balance needed between the stiffness and damping properties of any cone and this is truly why paper composite cones are still the preferred material for the vast majority of cone drivers. All the attempts I have personally experienced of extremely rigid cone construction have been failures at wide-band reproduction.
Hi snup,

Chris, go easy on snup, it's tough to come up with a lot of content when you have posted 93 times (count if you so desire) today (PDT) and still have over 9 hours to go.
Accuton drivers run ceramic inverted domes.
Claims of low weight, high stifness, and high internal damping.
Expensive but they do sound good.

Yes.
I have had a look at those, but I think it would be risky taking one apart, without damaging the cone. Im not sure how and with what the surround i glued. Some of them have rubber insert in the cone. I will feel much more comfortable, messing with a paper cone. It's only to make a conceptual working model. It doen't have to sound any good initially.

there will be some polepiece drilling and gap machining as well. I'm not going to use $500 drivers to ruin a handfull of them.
I just picked one of the Accuton drivers C25-013 just to look at. Two things I notices were that they were using ferro fluids and a problem with the impedance curve. Is the ferro fluid helping to smooth out what is happening above the lower peak impedance value and how long before the fluid starts to thicken and start to cause problems? I am often curious how many devices that claim to be a ceramic material are nothing but an anodized aluminum material?

this is the way I write.Off my head.
I don't prepare a technical paper for a week and then post a seriously flawed technical knowitall piece of timewasting technobabble, with half the punctuation moved one place the wrong way.
short and to then point, often. when I do write a post longer than a sentence, its usually to explain why something that on the surface looks like crapparooney really isn,t. I'm serious in anything i do or I don't do it. This is still a loungethread, as far as I know. But with some seriously intelligent and boringly dry and uninterresting experts.
Lumping several posts together in one, might be easier for people to read, but many posters doesn't make my reading easyly digestive.
so I post the posts I post

@Frank I take it back, I think there are different ideas as to what "middle class" is.

That is certainly true. However even the lounge is not care in the community!
Paper works very, very, well and is inexpensive.
I think plastic works better, but because of lack of breakup modes is perceived as without highs .............
