Hi guys,
I scored a pair of Tannoy Monitor Gold 15" speakers with very strange cones that I´ve never seen before. The gentleman I aquired them from couldn´t tell me anything about it. From behing, the cones are made of paper but fronts seem to be coated somehow. Any idea what might it be? Should I keep it or send them to Lockwood for recone?
They do sound great by the way This is my first tannoy and I immediately felt in love with it. The fun factor is huge, I love the sound both in stereo and home theatre, the dynamics is outstanding, they sound not so "audiophile" and sophisticated like my IMF RSPM MK4 but all in all probably one bests speakers I´ve ever had. The enclosures are about 290 liters big, they are DIY version of german Audiolive Schönbohm which have the same size, shape and back panel like here, but mine doesn´t look as good:

I attached pictures of cones, anyone can recognise what I´m dealing with here?
