excellent web site for comparing alnico to cermanic magnets

go to www. jensentone.com and click on the spot for listening to the different speakers they make with different magnets. I never thought a magnet would make a difference in sound but it does. In my way of thinking the vintage alnico speakers sound the most like the ar sound I am used to. you be the judge. the material played is guitar with the same thing on each speaker.

Not sure how to judge that, playing their music sample through crappy computer speakers. For that matter, even if the computer were hooked up to my MAC/AR-3a system how would I judge it? I'd be hearing the sound through the 3a's. Am I missing something?

confused,

using the 3a is a good way to hear the sound as there is no chang e done by the speakers. Your reference is the ar and you compare how the sound is on them with the only variable being the source. granted not a lot of change but to me the alnico has a more mellow sound and the ceramic, especially when you compare the sound on the 12 inch vs the 8 inch.
