Metal dome tweeters all have a high propensity to ring at high frequencies.( the old Focal titanium dome that was used in Wilson speakers was one of the worst offenders). Some folks are lucky enough not to hear this, unfortunately, I am not one of those people. Most ( say 90%+) of the Beryllium drivers I have heard can get bright and unpleasant to my ears, OTOH a silk dome or a ribbon seems to not have these issues. One of the best tweeters I have heard recently is the new YG silk/metal dome...seems to have the best of both worlds.
Beryllium Tweets
who is buying into the ~~hype~~?
I mean new is not always better. I think this Beryllium is all hype. ~~ IF indeed this tweet was superior to past proven and tried legends,,why are there not videos on Youtube with the ~~goods~~ the proof is in the listening So far there are no uploads with a compare to old Legends.
I am staying with my Millenium.
I've read somewhere the Be tweet sounds rather plastic-ity on top end.
btw we should mention the Be tweet is actually a mid-tweet which is the best design for a 2 way.
If someone can make a series of vids comparing the new kidontheblock Beryllium, I ain;t buying in and have this gut feeling its all hyped.

Beryllium tweeters is not "the new kid on the block", Been around since the 80’s. But the real problem is, that many people (may be even the majority) that think they have heard a beryllium tweeter, have nor really heard one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poWOnfEstoIhttp:// But a correctly used beryllium tweeter, will, in most ways, sound extremely good. Lower distortion are faster transient response, are just 2 areas where they excel. |

~~EXCEL~~~ you are actually describing the superior qualities of the SEAS ~~EXCEL~~Millennium~~ fast, neutral, transparent, voices human vocals with high fidelity,,where i might give the Be higher scores vs the Millennium is perhaps in the lower mid 1K-2K fq's. I left a comment on that YT vid you offered in the link,~~~JUST last night. The guy is talking,,,but not delivering the goods, = no actual audiotion is offered. Whereas you can hear the Millennium singing its magic in my uploads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1w_o7sZzJI |

Thats what i am guessing will be my response after a seassion with the Be midtweet. Metal has that fault at the highest fq;s. Whereas the Millennium has some special fabric, can't recall the name, which avoids these high fq's voicing with a ~~tinnness~. And my guess is the Be will havea bit of ~~Bark~~ in certain fq's when they peak high. The Millennijm has no such faults. There is no such ~~perfect midtweeter~~ But all in all the Millennium meets certain criterion that i wish to hear in a midtweet. With every mod in my system,,the Millennium continues to shine its true inner virtues of purity and clarity. |
Wow! Let's all listen to the sound quality of YouTube to evaluate our components. Besides, beryllium can and does work well with electronics that do not need the high end rolled off. I have some, and they are great at making mediocre amps sound as horrible as the really are. On the same system, my woven soft domes alleviate this flaw from crappy electronics. |
