That statement is simply wrong, it may have prompted a pontless change of driver and certainly would put anybody off neo drivers.
It's the kind of blanket BS that gives sound engineers a bad name and if it wasn't for this forum the OP would still believe it.[/quote]+1, and since the majority of high end pro-touring PA cabs have been loaded with neo drivers for over a decade now it's hardly an understandable gaffe.

And I'm sure the band in question are using neo-loaded Turbosound arrays every week down at the Bakers Arms in Tewkesbury :) I really can't believe how much people are slagging off an engineer they've never worked with just because of one mistaken diagnosis when the important bit of his job, ie the ears, have not been called into question.

When I heard early incarnations of neo drivers that were available in the UK they very much had a characteristic sound. For reasons that have been outlined on this thread by others. Just because this wasn't inherent to neo per se but reflected particular design choices, doesn't mean it's not real. Plus as Bill well knows, bass cabs are a total black box in comparison to PA cabs spec-wise. Pretty easy to spot a pattern but ascribe it to something spurious I think.
