TAS reports that JVC is set to release speakers with, get this...wood cone speakers. Wood? WOOD! Hey, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not an engineer but doesn't wood have properties that aren't conducive to use as a speaker? Doesn't wood shrink and swell? Doesn't wood rot? Chip? Flex? Break? Stain? Seriously, this just smacks of marketing over common sense.

Who knows, maybe I'm wrong? Any engineers wanna relay how wood could actually be beneficial?

BTW, they soak the wood in Sake to keep it from becoming brittle. No, I'm not making this up.
