Hey guys...first of all, let me apologize for not being around much lately. Things have been really busy for me in the past couple of months, but everything's starting to slow down a bit so I should have more time to check out the forum.
With that out of the way, here's something I've always wondered about speakers for guitar amps...what's the logic behind the materials used? Why do high-end home and car audio speakers have cones and surrounds made of rubber or similar materials, while guitar speakers use what car/home audio enthusiasts would consider to be sub-par speaker materials. Is it because the breakup that we desire from guitar speakers is something we don't desire in a different type of audio setup, or is there some other reason? I've always wondered what an amp would sound like if it had these types of speakers. Anyone have any insight? Thanks.
