    Paper 288 diaphragm?

    Anyone ever see or heard of these? Whoever made them went to a lot trouble to make them look like the Altec Aluminum diaphragms except for being made of paper. From Russia from a dealer only has 6 feedbacks that are a over a year old.

    From the dome side, I think they don't look anything like Altec diaphragms.

    Stuff like this is the Wild West of audio. Some good, most terrible.

    Red Flag-seller's feedback is more than a year old. Often that's a hacked account.

    Bummer if the data is accurate; the alum. coil would be ideal for a low power app.

    Frankly, you are being very offensive to people with much more knowledge than you.
    New ideas are to be tried first before judgement.
    I probably would have tried a pair. Wouldn't hold my breath but would at least listen.

    +1 Guessing a compromise between alum, phenolic, which could work well with vintage and/or 'shrill' recordings.
