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 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 |
