Duhhh, didn't the seminal Yamaha NS-1000M use a beryllium tweeter?

(Still remember listening at nearly top volume to Metallica "One" on
NS-1000Ms with a Quad 606 in the late 80s in the dem room at Chatham
Sevenoaks Hi-Fi, where I had a part-time job back then, after we'd
shut the shop. Our ears nearly bled!)

This one's new. ;-)

I assume the Focal is a new driver. The quote's a little out of context.

I've seen them, but have never heard them.

They (NS-1000M) were noted for being efficient *and* being able to take
high power.

Yep, one of the truly great speakers. I wish I'd been able to afford
