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.

I was a Yamaha dealer in the mid 70’s when they introduced the NS 1000... It was all beryllium vapor deposited in Yamaha facilities in japan....
Forming a dome was not possible due to the brittle property of be. ..Big dealer event...

I'm looking at trying the Tekton Lore speakers but can't decide if I should get the BE for an extra $300. Is it worth it?

Better dan the Be-tweeter is the scan-tweeter. Be.sounds “cheep”, plastic-ity, like you said. I made a proof with both of them. The “scan”-tweeter sounds more natural,more open. The beryllium laks the “clarity” in the high tones. Ribbon tweeters are also very good: beautiful high and not over the edge.

I had be tweets in my Yamaha NS-1000’s in the 90’s. They did justice to Pearl Jam, Alice n Chains, soundgarden, whatever that band was that did interstate love song, crash test dummies, green jello. 
We used to joke that the tweets glowed green and were radioactive ☢️  “These speakers could kill you” 

I was like 15.  They played loud and it was awesome.
