"Titanium is stronger for a given weight but it's a harder material to make and form and is still sensitive to metal fatigue. I have seen Ti diaphragms for a 1.4 inch exit driver that literally shattered into flakes of various sizes on touching. Avoid using breakup mode range at significant level." Tom Danley

The last sentence is key to my success in using pro compression drivers in my homes for many years in the new millenium.

In a 2" throat driver, with 4" VC, I never used shelving on the top end, going for a Super Tweeter instead (tractrix).

Why amplify all those "nasty things up top" when there are so many great Super Tweeters out there from 106-111 decivel sensitivity to work with!
