Fair enough, but what if the cone were 98% paper and 2% kevlar, and the manufacturer told you it was "Kevlar".
Even though Mr. Mowry has an interest to protect, I am glad that he is exposing this issue for what it is. If the end product is better loudspeakers for us to play with, then I am grateful.
Have you looked at the STEALLUS motor design, it's quite remarkable, I wonder when a driver based on it will be available.

I've never had an issue with compatibility between Open Office and Excel, except when the Excel doc included VBA code. If you want to keep folks with open office from mucking about with your spreadsheet, put in some VBA, It's a feature, not a bug
I use open office almost exclusively, but have an old version of excel for times when open office doesn't cut it - mostly this is when open office's charting problems rear their ugly head.....
Usher Audio says.
We are very happy to have Dr. Joseph D'Appolito as Usher’s technical consultant since early 2000. A world-renowned authority in audio and acoustics, he specializes in loudspeaker system design with credentials galore: BEE, SMEE, EE and Ph.D., degrees from RPI, MIT and the University of Massachusetts. As a member of the Audio Engineering Society, Dr. D'Appolito has published over 30 journal and conference papers. His most popular and influential brainchild has to be the MTM (midrange/tweeter/midrange vertical array) commonly known as the D'Appolito Configuration that’s used by dozens of manufacturers throughout the world.

Hello all,
This is Rosa scottfield from SONIC .
Here i¡¯d like to say alittle opinion about so-called truth :
1.Is that our diaphragm has better performance and cheaper than what you can provide.Thus you¡¯re planned and showed up at such high profile , no matter any where you could show your stuff ? even tried to push and command us to buy Be materials from you .
2.If we wanted to cheat or deceive on what we have, why should we provide SGS report to our customers? Starting from the beginning, You ,Stephen pretended to be our potential customers and bought samples from us, until now you stand out and said , what we have is bogus beryllium We really desire to know what you up to.
3 The proportional of raw materials is not important from our point of view. The most important is the sound quality. We are the provider of diaphargm based on Be materials; we are not the provider of Be materials or foil.
4 We never deny that the proportional of Be in our part is low and never provide false SGS report to our customer. The cost of Be diaphragm is much cheaper than the pure Be diaphragm. We really do not know why we are cheating customers from Stephen's point of view.
5.Usher's speaker system won Golden Ear Award at CES for several consecutive years. Their system is based on our Be Alloy diaphragm. The judges of CES are all experts and fair. No one can bride them. These awards prove that our quality is good indeed. Stephen claims that Usher uses Be to fool people. If this is true, which means that the judges at CES show was fooled by simply the name of "Be"
which is what we can not agree upon, not to mention these judges themselves. If it is true that those judges was fooled by the name of "Be diaphragm," then how comes thoese Audio System based on pure "Be" can not win the award?
i got the e-mails about the issue while we discussed this matter with Stephen , i will let it on the public !

In 2004 SONIC's "Beryllium" was analyzed in California. The results revealed it was painted titanium. Here's the report http://www.electrofusionproducts.com/userfiles/China_Be_Domes_Report.pdf
By 2007 SONIC's Beryllium contained 6075 parts per million of beryllium and 88.47% titanium. This is titanium alloy foil. However, the color is a very close match to acoustic grade beryllium. Here's the test report but note on the first page the material was submitted as "Beryllium Foil" http://www.s-m-audio.com/grayfoil.pdf . SGS determined it to be Gray Foil.

the only information given about their be diaphragm is, that it is
BERYLLIUM alloy.
This is at least a very superficial information.

Look closely at the font(s). That was changed yesterday from "BERYLLIUM" to "BERYLLIUM alloy". Here's the google cashed webpage.

Angelo's link came up with this:
"Our company established since 1981,majored in manufacturing parts of speaker diaphragm、 cone paper 、dust cover etc.,also devoted to do research on special materials applications such as BERYLLIUM、KELVAR、CARBON、TITANIUM ALLOY、MAGNISIUM ALLOY、GRANITE and CERAMIC."
Interesting that they mention Titanium and Magnesium alloys, but not Beryllium alloys, if that's what they are.

This is apparently info available openly on the net.
Fortunately, North America doesn't so far block internet traffic yet - in contrast to certain Asian countries.
I also do not understand your concern in the face of Chinese patent theft, no concern for unauthorized use there apparently, especially in view of the fact that China does not have a patent act.
