I do not look for beryllium diaphragms, I just was wondering if someone has succeeded to manufacture them in “basement conditions”. As I understand it shall be VERY difficult.

Well, your driver might be interesting. If I was able to accommodate 3.25" hole than I would propose to exchange your driver and my S2 for a few weeks to see how they work but afraid that I will not be able to mount 3.25" properly. Also you have 3.25" exit and 3” diaphragm… you know what I mean…

This driver that you describe is what you call “wide bandwidth” driver. I am not a big fan of the wide bandwidth horn channels; in fact I believe the idea itself is faulty. Are you planning to make “narrow bandwidth” drivers? It might be interesting if you apply your know-how for dedicated MF and upperbass compression drivers. Also, are you just making them for yourself of you are planning to sell them? If the later then what is the target price for them?
