A single plastic diaphragm, driven as a series of concentric rings via a delay line produces near perfect sound to beyond 20kHz - to a listener on axis of course. Even produces accurate looking square waves at mid frequencies.

Don't they just! saw just that at the QUAD factory many years ago when
mine were being upgraded, a very square square wave indeed;!

Makes me wonder how any other speakers could do that as well?.
