RE: Have to ask, what do you attribute the so very few new alnico home drivers to?

Yes, I wonder the same things, there are so many bright people and limitless bank accounts in high end audio AND the fact you mention that alnico guitar speakers have already made a comeback a few years ago.

I know, I know, I know....these questions do sometimes keep me up at night the past few years! I am not a genius, just a clever guy with a lot of experience and I admit I am at a loss on the "whys" of human psychology or the cost and difficulty of manufacturing alnico drivers. Cobalt is the ingredient that causes the problem in the mix with availability and price.

There are a few (very few) speaker makers out there using alnico in new designs in high end audio.
