Pretty sure it is a neodymium magnet...like the rest of the line. Far superior to Samarium Cobalt or Alnico IMO...BTW, anyone know what a 'Platinum magnet' is??? Certainly not Neodymium....LOL. 
If you were to design a tone arm, what would it look like and feature?

Been asked before but... One sub or two?
I just replaced a couple of older REL subs with two new REL's. Getting the blend to work in my small room is an ongoing challenge. IME, it is a ton more difficult to get two subs to work than just one.Just when you think all is well, a bass heavy ...
