beryllium vs diamond

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.

Melbguy1, Yamaha is saying this and everybody will find out when they bring their new Yamaha NS 5000's on the market at the end of July, 2016!.. I can't wait until some of the "magazine reviewers" review these speakers!!..

Here's some pictures of the inside of these speakers..you can ENLARGE these PICTURES below also so you get a closer look!..

These speakers will cost around $12K U.S.A. and all three speaker drivers are made of Zylon too!..

Yamaha is not high end.
