hmmm... i think that one gets posted every time you post 🙂

It does look alot sexier in real life though!

Careful... Pattie might not like to hear that... she may grab the other 11 cats and come pay you a visit 😀

I know you saw the JK behind that.... Actually I think that's an awesome looking cat. It kinda looks happy in the picture like it's purring cuz it's got that squinty eye look they get when they pur.

Pattie doesnt attak she just walks away.. BUT ulee will bite you : O ) And i know this because he left a mark in my hand.. My fav is the fat lazy ca he's orange and cute.. Loved me keeping him warm at night time when i was there..
This one may not have the "macho" appeal of some of the others, but she is a beauty for sure, finese gotta count for something....
That big hunk of AlNiCo.... yummm
a bit on the pricey side thou

BAM said:Is AlNiCo still the ideal magnet material or is Neodymium approaching quickly?
The answer is yes to both 🙂
There are different qualities of each and the motor design plays a huge role (even a good ceramic magnet can whack a bad alnico). Alnico has a 50 year (or more) practical experience advantage...
dave

Define ideal... Neither are completely perfect
Personally, I think the neo stuff is certainly the future for speakers. Still plenty of good designs using the ol' ferrite magnets, and several still utilizing the alnico.

All the Xmax in the world,and your still limited by your impedence mismatch into the surrounding air. Sensitivities stuck in the 90dBs.
2kw into a 18" 'super woofer' on 3 cubic ft enclosure = how much 2HD due to air nonlinearity
*party pooper*
[I dont like the aura 18"s not chunky enough
More of an appendage than a physically moving transducer😀

16 Basstech7s might suffice.

Alnico is the best of the generally available permanent magnet materials particularly wrt stability with temperature and lack of flux modulation....as long as you don't abuse it by exceeding the design power rating or mechanically banging the driver around (neither of which, IMO, should be a problem in a home audio application of a professional driver). If you do, it will tend to reduce its magnetic flux over time. I believe the susceptibility to alnico demagnetization from overpowering is significantly reduced with underhung voice coil designs.
thoriated : Jbl has exceeded the fidelity of alnico through regular magnetic structures with SFG and shorting rings. They have a paper on it,im trying to find it online,its somewhere.

Not really a woofer, but certainly beauties.
dave
Yeah, that's what I thought when I found my 301 at the second hand store for $40.
Thought it was some crazy woofer until I realized that this was a wonderful singer.
