beryllium vs diamond

Mel, I really am happy that you love your Magico's. I really am. I'm not trying to change your mind. Never have been and never will.

On to the thread which is good. Like anything else it's implementation. Most I know have loved carbon drivers in some form. Many love diamond or BE drivers. I do think that materials have specific sounds, however we've all heard various materials that we say we don't like but when implemented properly, can sound very good.

Cts, no foul. You're one of the good guys on here & a knowledgeable chap.

I think what you described sounds like fine dining. Something about the art of combining all those elements into a good dish ;)

mel, thanks. I think you get me a bit. I come off as a prick at time possibly. I know what I personally enjoy and what I don't. Funny as cooking is another hobby of mine and you nailed it. Heck, I speak with a few of the very well known posters on here and we all have similar ears, but not quite the same. It's fun to go listen to their systems or have them come listen to mine. It's rare that we ever get anyone to agree on everything. That's part of the fun.

What about speaker drivers made out of Zylon?.. that is said to be better than Beryllium or Diamond.. {Sound Wise}!!

Your be hearing more about this next year sometime!..

Hifi, who said that? From what I can see only a couple of manufacturers
are using that material in the car audio industry. Secondly, Zylon has been
around since the 80's. If it is so good, why aren't any high end speaker
manufacturers using that material 30 years later? Also can you comment
on the specific weight, strength & gravity of Zylon vs Diamond, beryllium &
diamond-coated beryllium?

I can say Magico's new hybrid Nano-Graphene/carbon Nano-tec
diaphragms are almost 30% light and 300% stiffer than the previous
generation. So that company are not standing still.
