Smooth vs. Ribbed

[Pedro58]

I'm talking about speaker cones, not condoms!

If everything else is equal, what is the difference between smooth cones and ribbed ones on speakers? In particular, Jensen vintage style speakers.

One breaks up sooner than the other, but I can't remember which.

Check www.tedweber.com I'm pretty sure he has details on his site.

It seems the smooth cone breaks up sooner. No? That's what I gather... Thanks, BlueStrat!
