Hi all,

My point with this thread is about M choosing to use a very harmful substance. I did not start this thread to discuss the dangers of other substances or other health hazards. Many things are harmful.

Do audio companies have to choose dangerous substances or materials in the pursuit of audio nirvana?

Maybe M could have achived this improvement by choosing other technical solutions. Or they could have choosen not to incorporate this Beryllium tweeter due to its hazardous proporties of the material.

In other areas of manufacturing, companies have stopped using harmful substances and replaced them with less harmful substances. Asbestos is such a substance.

I will not shop this upgrade just because of the beryllium tweeter.

This my opinion and my way of viewing Meridians decision of using a very harmful substance.

Best regards, Per Nilsson
