Neodymium guitar amp speakers

Still with this "fatiguing to the ears".
Can you define what it means? What kind of troubles does a neodymium magnet speaker produce to the listener's ears?

every one that I've heard is extremely peaky in the mids. I think that they'll have to tweak the speaker designs to get this resolved. The current designs are all based on alnico or ceramic magnets. When they first started introducing ceramic magnets people didn't like them either and eventually they tweaked the designs and people got used to them.

I've said this before, but here we go again, many years ago, after experimenting with many Celestion Neodymium
speakers, my conclusion was that the Celestion G12 Century was the best, clear definition, Hi Fi Neodymium Celestion speaker, unfortunately they stopped manufacturing these speakers.

Beware, the disappointing Celestion G12 Century Vintage is not the Celestion G12 Century Neodymium.

According to Celestion, the G12 Century Vintage directly replaced the G12 Century, which was not embraced by the market. I'm not surprised; I have both, and the Century, although very efficient, is piercing and shrill in the opinion of many (incl me) which is why I understand they replaced it with the Century Vintage. In my amps it's still bright with the treble on 0.

I'm not sure why you think the Century Vintage is disappointing, but if anyone wants an original Century 8 ohm speaker, PM me!

I'll do a straight swap for a Century Vintage,

But Celestion is not the only supplier of Neo spkrs. I never read anything good about them (on the internet) while finding constantly good reviews on the Jensens. So if you don't like the Celestions, don't bag all Neos in there with them.

As I stated, these experiments with Celestion neos were many years ago (10+) and at this time the only neo 12 inch speakers readily available in the UK were Celestions.
