Oooh I like the idea of platinum.
I take it Tungsten is too hard to be usefully workable?
Yes tungsten is not workable. Tungsten copper alloy is workable but a bit less dense.
All 3 of the exotics have an ever increasing cost scale ;)

Tannoy GRF replica's on the go.
These are made from premium quality 21mm thick birch plywood throughout.
The taller narrower footprint to my own design makes fitting them in normal sized rooms much easier.
They retain the same volume and back loaded horn design (computer modelled) as the standard rectangular GRF cabinets.
The vastly better construction materials vs the originals make for a sublime sound.
Birch plywood cut and machined to very high precision.
Prepped to very fine finish.
