Great commentary, guys
Yep...Beryllium is bitchen....did I spell that right?...and it's WAY expensive. the EV T35 diaphragm is less than 50 bucks...the TAD ET-703 and earlier are I think a couple of hundred....TAD 4000 diaphragms are around 600 bucks.
So I'd say the little phenolic EV does a quite respectable job in that sense(cents?).
FWIW...I haven't heard too many audiophile sounding disco systems lately...which should be a crime...because there is big bucks invested in some fantastic, absolutely torturous sounding nightclubs.
I like beer to...sorry... just good ol' MGD ice cold...mmmmm...no offense Mr. Widget
Love to all

Someone on the AA High Efficiency Speakers forum just posted this link to a Chinese company providing beryllium diaphragms. They look like they might be good; JBL knockoffs done in Be.

A little less than 2 days left and the auction is up to $8599.00.

"Sideways" was hilarious...and my fiance' and I went up to Solvang a few weeks ago and did sort of a "Sideways" tour on a weekend. What a blast...we went to The Hitchin' Post, Fess Parker (Frass Canyon), Foxen, Firestone, Rusack, and some others....found some great wine right here in good ol' Californee.
Highly recommend....sorry to be off topic

Very, very interesting stuff, indeedOriginally Posted by Steve Schell
It looks like Altec diaphragms too! The JBL diaphragms look to be well made!Originally Posted by Steve Schell
Wonder what they cost?

Edgewound, I split my sides laughing through Sideways. I had just returned from a northern CA trip, and had just had dinner at Pea Soup Andersen's two evenings before my nephew loaned me the DVD.
In the optional voiceover narration, actor Paul Giamatti explains that "frass" is a term that refers to insect excrement.
Well that explains the taste of the wine there ....doh!Originally Posted by Steve Schell

Anyone know what they cost and if the quality is comparable to JBL or Radians and last but not least, do they sound as expected?Originally Posted by Steve Schell

If anyone wants to spring for a pair I'd be happy to run some tests on them and post the measurements. We could compare frequency response, distortion and impedance with original JBLs.Originally Posted by pangea

I wrote them a mail yesterday and this is the answer I got.

Hi-
WE DONOT KNOW THE DETAIL OF JBL2441/2445J
IF YOU CAN TELL US THE VOICE COIL INNER DIAMETER AND PICTURE OR DRAWING
WOULD HELP US TO QUOTE THE PRICE.
BY THE WAY, COULD WE HAVE YOUR WEBSITE OR BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR COMPANY
BEST RGDS/TONY

PS: What impression does this give you? DS.

This factory is probably reluctant to mention JBL products due to copyright concerns. I think there is no doubt they are familiar with JBL products. They probably have them in the factory to use as a reference.
I would imagine that it is a Taiwanese run operation. I heard that JBL made many of its diaphrams in Taiwan at one point. Does anybody know if this is true?
