Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Neo Creamback is a 12-inch, 60W guitar speaker that keeps the Creamback sound profile while using a neodymium magnet. Celestion describes its low end as punchy, its mids as warm and vocal, and its highs as refined; driven harder, it develops a growling character. The key practical difference is weight: at 4.2 lb, it is described as around half the weight of a traditional ceramic-magnet speaker, reducing the weight of a cabinet loaded with them.
