[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 47974, member: 4"] Re: JBL SRX Discontinued. There is not a neodymium availability problem. There was neodymium price inflation, which has largely settled down to about 2.5x as much as it used to cost. This cost is still somewhat being absorbed, at least by B&C, and the folks that need neo (read: speakers that go in the air) are capable of paying the increase. The cost of neodymium will likely continue to go down, but it is unlikely to ever return to approximate parity with that of ceramic. What this really means is that designs that used neo because it cost about the same as ceramic are being re-evaluated and many re-designed around ceramic motor woofers. Designs that require the weight (read: big woofers that go in the air or get moved a lot) or density (read: high performance compression drivers) are staying with neodymium which, again, we have no problem getting.
