Diaphragm materials for compression drivers
When looking at the frequency response for compression drivers using polyester (Mylar) diaphragms I have noticed that most of them seem to be much more flat & smooth than their titanium counterparts. (Examples include B&C DE25 www.bcspeakers.com/pdf/component/de25.pdf Beyma CP380M and Beyma CP385/Nd http://profesional.beyma.com/ENGLISH/pdf/descarga.php?pdf=CP380M.pdf http://profesional.beyma.com/ENGLISH/pdf/descarga.php?pdf=CP385Nd.pdf) Does anybody know if this smooth behaviour is due to the choice of Mylar or rather overall driver design (or both)?

Polyester compression mids sound good to me but the highs are too rolled off IMHO. Ben
