Speakers with ceramic magnets tend to weigh more, but generally handle more power and sound better at high volumes.

Ceramic magnets were developed as an inexpensive alternative to Alnico and have the advantage of being more versatile with a wider range of tones.Alnico was used for decades because of its strong magnetic field, but once the alloy became a bit pricey, many manufacturers opted for speakers with the less expensive ceramic magnets.

It produces a classic tone that’s warmer and sweeter at lower volumes that many players feel reacts faster to the touch.

There are three different types of materials used in speaker magnets, Alnico, Ceramic, and Neodymium, with each material having a distinctly different effect on the tonal characteristics of the speaker.
