Diamond drivers


Out of curiosity I was wondering why diamond speaker units seem to be on the rise. Brands like Marten Design and B&W and many more are selling speakers with diamon tweeters. So what does make a diamond tweeter so good? Or is it just marketing hype. Although I doubt Janzen en Accuton are just making diamond tweeters for marketing reasons.

Yesterday evening I spend two and a half hours listening to the new Raidho D-1 speakers, they use a ribbon tweeter and a diamond mid/bass unit. I have to say this is the best monitor speaker I have ever heard. It is also a 17.000euro monitor speaker so for that price it better be very good.

I had an off the record with a B&W wholesaler about 2 months ago Re:diamond tweeters. This person was of the opinion that its a marketing ploy and they cant really achieve anything more than a standard tweeter.

This is not intended to cause an argument. Thes chap is as close to the horses mouth as I can get anf thats what he said.

I still said I want a diamond tweeter replacement. He said sit down im about to give you the price.
