Decoud, this is certainly the evolutionary idea, all right, that I have been turning over in my head for a while now. However, even to start with, if nothing else, there is with FC the opportunity to "dial in" flux by ear.
I cannot remember when, but I have read contradictory "reports" on various magnet materials and how they behave, both in stasis and with the VC working in the flux. The latter, of course, is what we are interested in. One "finding" that stuck was that Ferrite magnets hold stronger (per measured unit), then let go more dramatically, while AlNiCo lets go more quickly but also more "gracefully". So, Ferrite is SS, and AlNiCo is tubes? If to take anything from this, perhaps AlNiCo is the way to go if one plans to push the driver? Some bass guitarists say that, other factors being equal, they get deeper better with Ferrite.
As far as I know there have been no truly rigorous attempts to correlate fluxion and sound, by any measure, in either static or dynamic conditions, except everyone seems to agree that poor flux management = poor sound. Still, even AlNiCo is not a "given", since there are so many factors at work here.
