In Reply to: RE: Radian 745NeoBe: Harsh/Hard or Smooth/Easy? posted by cin5 on December 13, 2023 at 23:20:31
I have a pair of Radian 475Be 1 inch drivers and to be honest I don't find them so wonderful to listen to. I much prefer the pair Beyma CP350Ti drivers...much smoother and dimensional sounding (I get a flatness from the Be drivers that I don't like).
For a 1.4 inch format, I am finding the Beyma CP755Ti to be wonderful; it is also very smooth and extends to nearly 20Khz. No evidence of breakup sonically.

Thank you, this helps. But I wish that I could here Pierre's system with the 745neobe in those 4001 horns. He's probably the only one to date who made them sing.Being an EE though it took him 30 attempts to perfect the crossover. https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/beyond-the-ariel.100392/page-764 Post # 15,266.
I cant comment on the 745Be but I have lived with the 475pb for a couple of years and liked them as much as the couple Altec 800 variants before them.
A friend says they are more natural sounding than the Be's... for what it's worth.I am now working on a new project and thought I would try something new on recommendation from another friend (who's really into esoteric vintage kit) and that's the B&C DE250 with a polyimide diaphragm. I'm in the process of burning in and swapping it in and out of horns but am really liking what I'm hearing. It has a calmness or organic sense about it. Hard to explain but it keeps sounding better and better.
The B&C 1.4" format with the polyimide dighragm is the DE800

I wouldn't doubt that B&C driver sounding much different than what Troy Crowe suggested to Lynn Olson to complete his build; post # 15,334. https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/beyond-the-ariel.100392/page-767
