No... they come in all shapes and sizes Phil
The tube manual is quite like a telephone book. The number of it perfect. It is useful to make it possible to speak with a girl. But we can't see her beautiful face from the telephone number

Thanks Steve, I'll do some more checking on the 12" Pioneer speakers I have.

Actually, they came from you Steve, so they must be good. :)

A lot of the cheaper ones were like that - for instance the Saba greencones and loads of other radio /TV speakers.
I suspect those are OK at small excursions but distort at higher excursions when compared to more expensive units with ring magnets.

There are a few well regarded speakers that look like that under their magnet covers, vintage and famous philips and pioneer come to mind..
Its not a negative phil just because it looks cheap its not what you may think, as my examples are some really good sounding drivers
