the lead outs look rather fragile.

Actually I recognize it as  a positive feature.

the material looks like it may not even be aluminium - it kinda looks like titanium ?!

If it is so then even more respect to their manufacturing facility as titanium is more difficult to stamp then aluminum. I would certainly prefer to have aluminum but it does not mean the if people use titanium with respect to the sound that they are getting then they can’t get some interesting results. The key is to learn of the HK guy who stamp the cones have any sonic objectives.

You do not have a cartridge scale? Anyhow, I think the key would not be the mass difference but rather to recognize the suspension compliance difference….

Thanks for the offer to let me play with them. I have over dozen diaphragms for S2, a few different types and I am not anxious to experiment with them anymore. I very comfortable with what I have now unless someone credibly state that the HK’s diaphragms are better I would not move. At this point I would let others to do the experiments: I look forward to retire from those games.
