Cost of a new Beryllium tweeter?

Be very careful with the beryllium dome. Beryllium is a highly toxic substance and special care need to be taken to properly recycle the material. Audio plus or Focal should have a program in place for handling the recycling process.

Good listening

I too have damaged one of the tweeters of my MicroBes (a few years ago while moving). Focal replace it within 2-3 weeks. It cost me somewhere between 600 and 650 euros. I have never checked whether I could have bought this tweeter from some place else.

I think I have it (it cals TBU/Micro) some if didnt sold earlier.. not sure if the Micro or bigger models(the diferencies is in top edge frontplate)keep us posted about dealer price. 800usd for new generation tweeter sound to good to be true. at least here in Europe.

I had the same thing happen with my Diva Be's back in 2005. The cost was ~$1000. That was direct cost, I had friends at both AudioPlus and the local hi-fi shop, neither added any markup. Mostly I think they just felt sorry for me.

Hopefully they are cheaper now.

Thanks everyone,

Unfortunately I can't manage to get any price quote from anyone except a local store that suggested to replace the whole top bezel incl' the tweeter for 1150$ (!) :-\

Audio Plus won't ship to my country, Focal forwarded my email to the local distributor without giving me even a clue of how much such tweeter costs... I'm feeling like its a big secret... weird.
