THE CONES LOOK NEWER, AS WELL AS THE DUSTCAPS. THEY BOTH WORK, AND WERE TESTED WITH MY AUDIO SIGNAL GENERATOR. SWEPT BETWEEN 1KHZ AND 45HZ. I DIDNT HEAR ANY PROBLEMS WITH LOW SIGNAL APPLIED. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT INTERESTED BUYERS VISIT ME IN STERLING HTS, MICH. AND SEE AND HEAR FOR THEMSELVES HOW NICE THEY LOOK AND HOW GOOD THEY SOUND.
