My ushers had a dmd tweeter, my salon 2’s a Be and my 8k’s a be and the persona 7f that i’ve spent considerable time with also Be. I also home auditioned the kanta 3 with a be tweeter so I got some comparisons with the same components driving them in the same room. I really prefer the salon 2 and 8k tweeters on hi rez recordings while I found the dmd in the usher to be the slightest bit more forgiving and with the right components the persona would be right there, but I never got it home to compare. The focal didn’t produce any bass in my room so it sounded top heavy. I’m ready for some warmer weather and this quarantine to be lifted so i can gtfooh.
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.
