Metal screens have a big advantage - in my opinion - in that they do not require a hoop. Modern hi-fi loudspeakers almost all use flush mounting as opposed to a lot of mid-20th century designs that mounted the driver behind the baffle. Loudspeaker designers have gotten rid of what was essentially a straight-sided horn and in doing so, cleaned up the midrange a little. Doing the same thing at the other end of the music reproduction chain makes a lot of sense to me.

best,

john
