beryllium vs diamond


Hi guys, today's technology has brought us a new type of tweeter made of diamond or beryllium. Do you know what are the strengths and weaknesses of diamond vs beryllium? Which one is the more expensive? Has today's dome tweeter better resolving power than the venerable electrostat? Jim Thiel once said that dynamic designs will be getting better all the time and will probably surpass electrostatic designs.

When tweeters “blow”, its their voice coil that fries to an open circuit. Never seen any tweeter diaphragm explode.

 Elizabeth, A Be tweeter won’t kill you. Unless you planned on grinding up 5 or 6 of them and snorting them.... 🙄
