I've seen a handful of old speakers over the years as in my original '65 Super Reverb and old alnico Celestions that I've bought. My SR has had the original 10" speakers replaced long ago.
Further to that my amp guru here in Auckland has had many vintage Vox(and to a lesser degree) Fender and Marshall amps through his workshop over the years that I've seen and talked with him about.
The outcome of that has been that I see the predominance of alnico speakers(Celestion and Fender/Eminence) being more reliable and 'fit for purpose' than their ceramic counterparts.
Now I'm not a technical guy in any sense of the word and have only my observations to rely on.......but are alnicos more long lasting than ceramic......
