Bose speakers using paper - Blu-ray Forum

KingRadicalPhil · 06-19-2008, 04:32 AM

Why Bose speakers use paper cones. In a few threads people cant understand why Bose uses paper and charges a whole lot check this out my Klipsch speaker set is 7.1 and was a few hundred more way better in every way.
Heres the answer for why bose uses paper cones.
They want you to wipe your on the speakers while taking a crap aww the beauty of music

Actually...Paper cones are a very natural sounding cone. Albeit, bose uses very cheap ones, but paper can be made to be very light and very rigid, which are important characteristics to a good speaker. As far as why they charge so much...because there are people still stupid enough out there to buy them. Bose aren't necessarily all bad, just priced way way way too high.

You my friend, are correct. The speaker in my Avatar....The Audio Note AN/E Sogon ($100,000+ speaker) and many other high-end speakers have coated paper drivers. Paper is like you said light and very rigid - translates to speed. I'm not a Bose fan or a Bose defender - I really don't like em, but if the fact and pupose of this thread is to down them because they use paper...we have a long way to go

.

I'm with you - people should research a bit more. Shiny metallic woofers don't make a speaker better. I'd take a set of Klipsch Heresy's (vintage - and yes a paper woofer) over a Klipsch entry level Synergy F-3 any day

P.S. - The Audio Note AN-E series is based off of my present speakers - The Snell E/E-II (Peter at Audio Note has informed me when I'm ready to make the transformation - I can keep my E-II's and change the crossover and move up to his more efficient drivers - the E-II's however are efficient enough). All of these speakers use coated paper drivers that measure very flat-especially the ones in the Original E & E-II.

Paper is our friend

I wouldn't buy Bose, but there is no way I'd buy those Klipsch speakers either..... so what's the point of creating a thread to crap all over bose??? Don't we have enough of those?

My speakers use Kevlar..... I guess I'm supposed to shoot them?

Entertainment72 · 06-19-2008, 01:43 PM

WOW another CRAP on BOSE thread from blu-ray.com.. I'm shocked...

To the OP... ramble much? So in theory the purpose of your thread is to promote how paper in speakers is inferior? I ask this of you, please do not educate us it is obvious you are lost.

We may not agree on speakers often, but 72...I'm with you on this!

This thread is borderline trolling and the OP has some bizarre fascination with toilet paper in addition to not understanding speakers at all.

Closed.

You want to talk about BOSE and specifically what is wrong with the type of paper they use, do it in the stickied thread. We don't need another BOSE thread here.
