Given the political and geographical situation with rare earth metals, I've been curious about the recyclability of speaker magnets. In my travels I've never heard any talk about this from manufacturers or anywhere else. I've got a handful of B&C woofers that, despite the availability of recone kits, are not worth repairing on account of the cost. (Last time I checked, it's only a few more dollars to get an entire new driver.) Should these be 'landfilled'?
[I seem to recall that B&C made a statement a few years ago where they said that despite the worldwide neodymium market challenges, they had a secure source/supply of neo for the foreseeable future.]
