General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: I understand that metal drivers ring, but look at plastic ...

ALL drivers ring including paper. The question is where(high enough to be above crossover is good) and how badly(intensity and then how well damped so the ringing doesn't last as long. Metal holds off ringing higher but it breaks up worse when it lets go.

Bextrene, the 1st major use of plastic drivers rings very badly. That's the reason for the shiny finish. It's PVA, a coating to dampen the ringing to reduce its affects.
