Hello, I want to know more about the advantages of neodymium mid-ranges over ferrite mid-ranges.
As far as I know: neodymium speakers have the advantages of having a greater magnetic flux and less weight. This can provide the advantages of: greater energy handling, greater portability, higher SPL levels, etc.
But, it contains some disadvantage. Being them: Lower heat resistance (depending on the level of manufacturing quality), Higher cost, etc.
I'm currently thinking about making modifications to the magnetic system of my mid-basses, I'm thinking about making a mixed combination of neodymium and ferrite, but I still need more information about it and what are the advantages and disadvantages of doing so.

Neo is much more heat resistant whereas ferrite is a heat sink in comparison, so while it initially wicks away the heat, once saturated you're stuck with a higher effective Qt speaker in a PA app and a variable one for HIFI/HT, so for these we're really more interested in wide range low inductive thermal power distortion, i.e. AlNiCo, Neo, Samarium Cobalt, etc..
