So I have been kicking around the idea to give something with the Beryllium Diaphragm a try. May not be until next year. But here is what I was thinking. Unless I score a pair of TAD's at $1200.00 with the snout, It could get costly (not to bad maybe 1400-1600). I thought what if I blow one of these and need new diaphragms? Are the readily available, I don't see them all over the net. So what if I went the JBL 2446 route with the Truextent Beryllium. Even if I cant find JBL's at a steel with bad diaphragms. I could pic up a pair for about $250 shipped, then install new diaphragms at about $1200.00. This puts me at $1450.00 a pair. The thing I like is that there is replacement diaphragms and no need for the snout adapter that the TADs take. That brings us to my two questions I have. First is it the Beryllium diaphragm that makes the sound or does the phase plug come into play? From the pics I have seen on the net, the phase plugs look similar. I am not sure if any difference at all is going to make much of a difference in sound. Second, hmm there was second question I thought, but maybe it was about the phase plug It will come back to me if important enough.
