From my understanding, all 4001's have Be diaphragms, but they made they stronger/thicker/heavier in the mid-90's to prevent damage when played "Really" loudly. I guess some diaphragms suffered failure from extreme power input and they decided to make the change. Because of the additional weight, the frequency response is much more limited on top with the newer design, so the early ones are more highly regarded.Anyone can confirm or dispell this?
