I didn't know that there were foam dampers behind the tweeters' cones. I never disassembled one. The aluminum cone Bozak midrange speakers just have the backside painted like the front. But even with that, the original owner of the one larger Bozak midrange speaker that I still have wound up putting an additional layer of paint on the face of the cone. I only wish he hadn't chosen a peach colored, flat wall paint........two coats.
Anyway, I'm certain that you're right. Metal direct radiators always have resonances that have to be damped, one way or another. I guess there is a uniformity of manufacture which is appealing to speaker manufacturers. Also, it seems like every 15 or 20 years, metal drivers become popular for some reason. Lately I think rock musicians are using the current crop of metal drivers. Better them than us, I suppose.
I never liked metal midrange drivers either. Even the LE 5-2, Jbl midrange speakers left me flat. I always wound up replacing them with one of the old KLH yellow midrange/full range drivers from the 1960's. Now that's a great driver. And just a little rat-tail file work on the bolt holes and it bolts right up where the LE5-2 fits. Much smoother, and capable of a much lower crossover without getting anywhere near it's resonance.
So anyway, I do agree with your original statement. If the OP can find the paper cone Bozak tweeters, I'm sure he will get a much smoother high frequency response.
