Them woofers are scratched and beat up and ugly lol.. The new Fi looks x10 better then your old beat down n3s. And that glue around the dust caps looks likes dried up 3year old jizz. Those just arnt clean looking woofers

not to mention the gold underside of the cone looks like it came straight out of this guy's car

Wow, ok then...

if that neo isn't high temp is not much benefit.alnico is a great magnet to use but they are very expensive. the open architecture cooling ends up hurting the driver because they don't have any defined channels to cool the coil.

it looks pretty cool and should be alot cheaper.

I'm still waiting for any evidence of a neodymium magnet in a loudspeaker degrading due to heat.

Id imagine in most applications like the most recent motor picture here doesn't have many problems. i've seen designs that it could be a problem in. that being said ive used them in similar situations and as low as 150 degrees lowers the magnetic field strength substantial and is nearing demagnetization.

BTW unless i build and plan to market it.. i dont give a **** if it get demagnetized or falls apart.. lol

i left you some links so you can learn a thing or two about the neo magnets. i learned the hard way..

I would say @hispls knows a little about neo... Are those shockers degraded? lol

im not saying he does or doesn't. i used them and i know they aren't good at high heat applications.
if your going to argure that the magnets didnt get hot enough thats one thing but if your going to argue there is no issue your foolish. even the n52 idnt made to be heated past 150 degrees the high temp neos are much better and retain more saturation at those heat levels. last summer a couple years ago on a 9515 with 3k i used my multi meter with the temp prob on it i did some testing and the topplate in mid summer beating the block down often got to hot to touch,

Not in the least.

So basically you have no evidence that a neodymium loudspeaker motor has been degraded through use.

Thilo called bullshit on this in the Subwoofer Myths FAQ years ago and I have yet to see any evidence to refute that.

FACT is if the magnets get over 180 degrees the will demagnetize. ive NEVER been impressed with any of tc sounds woofers.

i dont care who called bull ****. i know for a fact in a 3 phase motor using standard grade N52 that exceed 200 degrees killed them. under the correct circumstances when the motors get hot as **** it will affect the magnets.

like it was said eariler most of the designs have the magnets far from the gap. and its for a reason.

couple years back they had a guy that had trouble with the neo motors he ended up scratching them because they would slowly demagnetize

I like how they retooled that 12" Ti basket to include a 5th spoke. And that crinkle paint? I want me some o' them.

I'm sure all of your patents are far more impressive than Thilo's.

And again, more what if's and might be, or could happen, but still no evidence. FFS, just admit there is no actual evidence of neodymium woofers degrading from heat.
