That bad? Glad I've never wasted my time. Suspected such....that’s called a Yoko Ono album.

Thanks for that, but I've been through it all, but I still can't relate as to how in such a multiplex of frequencies and energy how the hell do we still have the ability to distinguish amongst all that's going on, the separate sound sources [instruments] all at the same time being produced by a cone of paper moving backwards and forwards in a magnetic field whilst being energised accordingly.
eg, strike a triangle and listen to it sustain. Record that. Now strike a guitar chord with lots of distortion. Record that. Now play them back both at the same time. How the hell can you still hear a triangle sustaining whilst there's a guitar crunching both at the same time through a single medium that's trying to reproduce BOTH sounds at the same time? You would think the cone would do one or the other if the note was to remain pure, but it doesn't, so therefore there must be some sort of trade off. And yet, there doesn't sound like there is, or is there?
Something's not 'clicking'. No amount of throwing pebbles in a pond watching waves propagate is letting me see it.
I need a bigger brain.
But consider being at a pin point somewhere on the surface. You would be buffeted by a complex wave form. What's happening elsewhere on the surface I think wouldn't matter, what matters is the frequency and amplitude of the waves at that pin point.
Now that I can understand, but .....that still doesn't explain how a single driver can respond to multiple frequencies AT THE SAME TIME...
Guys I know it may seem I'm simple minded about this, but how is it possible for a single mechanism to do two freq's at once...
I have run up against other concepts in my 65 plus years on this planet that i can't seem to get past the first steps...perhaps I have been born in the wrong century. Pumping units, treaters, workover rigs, drilling rigs....those i understand because I can see them.
I guess I'm gonna have to quote the "Larrt" on this , it's just PFM---Pure Fuckin Magic...

George, we are a pinpoint in space receiving those waves...
Continuing with Joe's great analogy of the pen tracing the complex wave...
When that voice coil tries to follow it's signal, it is attempting to push and pull the cone or diaphragm along with it. Neither of these are infinitely rigid. They exhibit compliance as well as resonant factors along their surface. Different portions can react better to different frequencies. A speaker cone does not act as a rigid object. A high speed video of cone action is very interesting.
And those “whizzer cones” with a single voice coil, supposed to extend the highs.That "different portions can react better to different frequencies" comment remided me of the Walsh driver early Ohm speakers had. Titanium, aluminum and paper sections of the cone were supposedly responsible for different frequency ranges.
