...check out the "Parts Express" website for starters. Lots of cone/dome type and compression drivers avail with Neo magnets. I'm using a pair of BMS Neo drivers on the 811s in my modified Altec Carmels (4552s). Physically small and very efficient although I think the ferrite version (4550) might sound better.

You may have seen it but you didn't,get over to Classic Audio Reproductions near Pontiac.John builds a set of Field coil speakers that are quite possibly the best dynamic speaker I've ever heard. They run about 70 grand a pair but they sounded like Quad ESL57s on steroids..They were that good.

...driven by some Atmosphere OTL amps. Not my cuppa tea. YMMV
For me, they're the highlight of the Axpona show every year. And John is a great guy. If I had the $, I would have a pair.
He said last year may be his last Axpona; hope not.
