They are one piece paper, single ring in other words, no separate cloth added (or any other material) for the surround. My reconer said they're what d120's were like originally, back in '57 or '58, and as I've said, they are rated at, like, 20,25 watts, something like that, but they can easily handle 40, even 50 watts. Though, for my taste, they don't sparkle like the later, two piece cone version. They don't have the clarity. They don't stay clean when you play a little loud. On that note, we'll see how I like the D123's.
