I've fooled around with most cone material types and a LOT of different design methods. Full range, arrays, high efficiency, three ways, two ways, full size, monitors, etc....
And I think I actually came back full circle. For pure musical sound I found the humble and vintage Dynaco A-25 speaker DESIGN/CONCEPT to be the most musical. With a newer version using the Seas 27TDFC tweeter in either a ported or varivented box.
For monitors types I can't say enough about the Zaph Audio SR-71 design. Simply perfect in every way (for me). Accurate, musical, wonderful extension and detail. A very low distortion speaker with natural open sound.
But I feel the main deal breaker is the cone material. Paper in my heart is still king of woofer cone materials.
