Billet Dome: The End of Hard vs Soft Dome Tweeters

[TitaniumTroy]

Wonder how this performs vs a Diamond tweeter? I've always been very impressed with their sound at audio shows and one audionut's living room. Which I can't say about some other high end brand name speakers.

The brand new, patent-pending BilletDome™ tweeter is YG Acoustics™’ most complex mechanical invention to date: a resonance-free soft dome is supported by a stiff, light airframe machined from aluminum billet. The airframe weighs a mere 30 milligrams (a thousandth of an ounce), but its critical sections are up to 14 times thicker than a typical hard dome, so its structural strength is vastly superior even to domes made of the most exotic hard materials. Finally, a tweeter that ends the age-old debate of hard dome versus soft dome, by combining the best of both.

BilletDome™ is used exclusively in YG Acoustics™’ new “super-speaker”, Sonja™ XV.

That's a pretty impressive frequency response plot at the 3:07 mark: 600-25,000 Hz +/- 1.5dB if I read the graph right (and place the "average" line at 90.5 dB.)

It also sounded really good playing through my desktop computer speakers!

Intriguing. I want to hear this.

The language in the video was sometimes silly => "Instead of one material, why not use two?"

Sounds great!!! Except the line.. "cost no object approach"
I think I'll be working a second job to get one in my next speaker.
