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.

The esteemed moderators have wisely deleted the insulting, mocking, and arrogant post directed at me above by kosst so I have accordingly deleted my thoughtful repsonse to this person.
kosst_amojan"Big panels are some of the most unnatural speakers I've ever heard. They sound interesting, no doubt, but almost no natural sound source is a gigantic flat membrane."

This reflects, indicates, and displays a profound, substantial, and significant misunderstanding, confusion, and/or ignorance/unfamiliarity with the design, substance, and nature of speakers intended for Music Reproduction Systems. For one thing no instrument in an orchestra, band, or ensemble resembles a cone speaker yet that would be your alternative to a panel speaker also depending on the design, construction, and technology employed in the panel speaker there may be substantial benefits and advantages in terms of crossover design and implementation that can easily render the panel speaker to be the objectively and measureably superior speaker but of course if you're experience is limited to just a few designs you may suffer from the type of misconception and misunderstanding as stated hear.
