Zaph Audio SR71's and newer versions of the Dynaco A-25

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.

Back in 1999 I auditioned computer speakers for my son's dorm room, and - alaskahiatt 22:46:08 09/23/14 (1)
I found that the Yamaha YST-M7 had the truest tone. All the other powered speakers were extremely tinny and sounded nothing like real voices or instruments. The Yamaha was the only speaker that used paper cones.

  Desktop system speakers in most price ranges have advanced considerably since 1999. Today you can spend $200 or you can spend $2000, whichever way you go you might find a fresh smile on your face...
