I appreciate your taking the time to describe what's happening to the flux as the temperature goes up.Now from what I gather, with a ceramic magnet motor a good shorting ring effectively minimizes flux modulation, while as long as the temperature doesn't go up too much the flux remains high. If indeed pro-sound drivers barely even "break a sweat" in a home audio application, in your opinion is the real-world performance difference between ceramic (with shorting ring), neodymium, and alnico fairly insignificant, at least in an application like your home theater room?
Thanks!
