[QUOTE="Jimi77, post: 8815986, member: 673702"] Hard to say without knowing the application - in particular what tweeter and intended x-over point. Carbon and poly have the best control over break up at higher frequencies. The ceramic and aluminum push the break-up the farthest out. Carbon, aluminum and ceramic tend to sound more lively and aggressive than paper and poly cones, but both the aluminum and ceramic cones look to be pretty well damped. Poly and paper tend to sound warmer/fatter at the low end, so they do well/better with bass guitar IMHO. I suspect the aluminum, carbon and ceramic cones would all sound more accurate/detailed on the lower end, so snares/drums would sound a little more accurate/fast with those types of cones. As always there are exceptions to the rules. For my money, I'd probably go poly or paper. The Silver Flutes are a good option. In the ~$70 range the Dayton Reference paper or aluminum drivers are worth a look. I see you have a DSP and I assume it has 36-48db crossovers, so the high frequency break up may not be an issue.
