I don't think its the driver that determines the sound we hear as an individual part. . The horn that couples the driver to room and the choice of crossover parameters also influences the sound. The choice of tweeter if there is one can make or break the sound of a midrange horn. And a lot of the sound contributed to a horn is actually shared or is mostly the upper ranges of the woofer. And if that sound isn't correct the whole production chain of sound is a failure. And though the diaphragm is a part of the driver, different diaphragms with the same driver makes it an entirely new reproducer. If making diaphragms were easy; then, why do nock off diaphragms never sound right?
