[QUOTE="Micron, post: 573497, member: 17294"] I have read about some that prefer the HPD's though. Isn't the only thing that differs between the HPD's and The Golds the material used for the surround and the HPD have the supportive struts on the back of the cone? Same crossover point but maybe a different circuit? *I have yet to hear Golds though. How do they get better? I would have though that cones, especially paper cones, get weaker and softer as they age and hence are more prone to lobing (various frequencies sent in varying strengths at different angles) as the speaker cone flexes or deforms as it moves back and forth, rather than behaving like a rigid piston, which is the ideal. Maybe I'm wrong? [/QUOTE]
