In Reply to: Which alnico 12" to use posted by tnc on April 12, 2007 at 23:44:18:
In my experience, the advantages of alnico (as well as shorting-ringed ceramic and neodymium) aren't audible in the region you're talking about.Is the 12" helper woofer also going to be on an open baffle, or will it be in an enclosure of some type? If on an open baffle, will it be equalized?

The helper going in a sealed box. My 10" fullrange are alnico and I can't imagine using speakers that are not alnico from 200hz and up - just love that tone... No equalized will be used. Thanks.
Go to Audio Circle or Decware or Hawthorne Audio or DIYAudio.com..they have specialty forums for Open Baffle. By the way,, IMO do not worry about alnico for the 200hz down.The plates are a good idea, I run BASH for bass augmentation, but I do believe Alnico has something going for it in the midrange.. every alnico driver I use in OB just has something better in low mids & mids that my non alnico drivers don't. I don't have a clue why that is, just what I hear. I run a 12" alnico FR alone in OB in a all tube 2nd system & it has some seriouse magic..even with a PP amp.
I could not agreed with you more. My 10" fullrange are alnico and I can't imagine using speakers that are not alnico from 200hz and up - just love that tone though they are not as detail or accurate like the others but the tone is to die for ...
