Saw there was going to be some panel about vibrational dynamics of ribbed cone and ribbed panel radiators, but don't have any details.

Anyway, some of the movies here http://www.gmi.edu/~drussell/Demos.html might give you some ideas to contemplate about the differences in sound. Anyway, it would seem a piston radiator would be more like a point source in a closed box while a maggie would act more like a dipole (with some different types of rectangular membrane distortion than a circular cone radiator) and would be more like a line source than a point source so the radiation pattern would be different and may not follow the inverse square law for intensity as closely as a point source so internal room reflections would have different patterns of interaction, phasing and instantanious pressure at a given sampling point. It's a thought anyway... personally, I don't really care... I simply like my maggies.
