The article is titled: 'Firms Rush to Commercialize Multifaceted Diamond Films'
It is about creating thin-film coatings of diamond, and the part I find that is
of interest is:
   'Closer at hand is a diamond-film "heat sink", the tiny core of a microchip
designed to bleed built-up heat away from the circuit. Japan's __Sumitomo
Electric Indutries Inc.__ sells a heat sink made of synthetic diamond, although
it's not made of the more flexible [manufacturing process] thin-film material.
__Sumitomo__ also markets the only __current commercial thin-film diamond
product__, __a diamond-coated speaker component__ that utilizes diamond's
rigidity to improve sound reproduction.'     {"[]" and "__" are mine}

Anyone know under what brand name(s) or used in what product(s) the
diamond-film coated 'speaker component' is being sold?
The latest advance I heard of was titanium coated dome speakers, now we'll
have diamond coated speakers ?!!
