Paper Cones in HiFi?

I prefer paper over any other cone material that I've heard. It is very light and very rigid for its weight. Nothing is perfect, paper has its flaws just like any other material. However, the statment that paper is only for low-fi speakers is very incorrect.

said above: >> I always thought paper cones were for low end Radio Shack speakers.

Nope.

Sincerely
I remain,

Cluesless is right, the paper cones are for the high end radio shack speakers as well.

TWL, Just kidding! :)

Paper is the most natural sounding to my ears. But it lacks dynamics and high volume capability.
To add to TWL's post, I think paper is good for absorbing unwanted resonances in the driver. Better than metal and polypropylene (that's a low end material Epos being an exception - there's always an exception)

You know I don't photograph much audio gear. So when Motts approached me to photograph their new idea for headphones I was a bit sceptical when I first saw them. Boy was I wrong. They may not be comfortable but the audio experience is like nothing I've ever tried. Brings back memories of the good old days when I was a kid. Every time I use them though my wife complains I smell like tomato paste! So I was thinkin', why, for Pete's sake, don't the speaker manufacturers catch on and use these materials for their drivers?! I'm guessing that once they catch wind of these babbies Dixie Cups will be giving them a run for their money....paper is lighter and can move much faster after all.
