I recently spoke with a sales rep from Truextent about Diaphragms, listening impressions of M2/Everest, and TAD aftermarket diaphragms. First off he was a very professional and helpful. He spent about 20 minutes talking to me about all sorts of things. Here are a couple of things:
- Materion is a MFG of JBL's be and Radian's as well. They also do the mg phrams as well
- Radian was sold but couldn't recollect who.
- No plans for be in small format stuff.
- He mentioned someone was make aftermarket Beryllium Diaphragms for TAD but didn't know who.
- Speaker Exchange is the only place to buy now that OCS is out of business.
- Impressed with 2216nd's upper midbass when first listening to the M2's. He did say he was not using his own listening material.
- He was also surprised at the amount of M2 WG's were able to purchase here on the site.
In closing this individual was a very good representation for Materion. He was helpful and willing to talk even though I was only thinking of buying a backup pair of diaphragms.
Thanks,
Scott
