It appears after 9:40 the tweeter surface appears to have been damaged towards the bottom portion of the dome near the 'beryllium' text. I think maybe pressing the dome outward with the finger may have caused the adhesive that was still remaining on the rim to pull and deform the beryllium edge. I recently had an accident with the tweeter grille cover on a focal alpha 80 evo in which the strong magnet in the tweeter pulled the grille from my fingers towards the aluminum inverted dome and created a small dent that has had no audible effect as far as I can assess, and I've done extensive nearfield listening. I ordered a new tweeter assembly from my local Focal dealer because the cost was reasonable and the speaker is brand new. Thank you for posting by the way, not often you see such a masterfully made piece of start of the art technology and the small tolerances in which it operates.
Do the focal berylliums have a unique sound signature? What makes them so expensive and popular besides the name and material used? I have Paradigm with the GPAL tweeters. Curious.
professionalism my friend.. I have a question .. is it harmful if you play a damaged car beryliium tweeter .. or do you have to replace it immediately?
