You shouldn't worry at all about Beryillium cracking, exploding or anything like that. The only danger is in dealing with Beryillium is in the manufacturing stage. We have changed out the midrange driver and it is totally safe, Beryillium is toxic as a dust or gassous particle or any airborne fragment, that could be inhaled.
A finished Beryillium driver is totally safe, we would not recommend that you eat one but your fears are unfounded.
Also as you are in Canda that is why your pricing is better, pretty sure that part of the costs are higher in the US due to transportation costs and probably US duties and customs fees which may be less with Nafta but most likely they add substantially to the US prices.
Also we wonder if the reason the Contriva G2 sounded better because it was on different gear perhaps?
We has both the Polymer Audio Research a $68k loudspeaker with both Acuton's pure Diamond midrange and tweeters, in a 360 lb all metal enclosure with all silver wiring, and the Polymers didn't sound a lot better than the 9H.
We also listened to a $120k set of Kharma Exquisite Classiques and they were also very good, they weren't better than the Persona 9H either just different.
The only issue we have with our current setup is that we want a bit warmer puncher bass but that may be possible with ARC Genesis.
We haven't retuned our 9H in a while.
We find the marriage of the Persona with the T+A gear which is warm and very liquid with outstanding detail to be a fantastic combination.
You really should just get a pair there is nothing which can really better them for this kind of money.
