Hard to go wrong with Barefaced cabs.

Neo started with a kinda bad rep from manufacturers sticking neo drivers into the same boxes, and them winding up sounding like a box with the wrong driver in. Once they are all designed to work together, you just get a weight benefit and a few other engineering advantages.
 
Budget, music style, and drummer volume? What amp are you, or do you plan on using?

Any other details you can provide?

Oh, and welcome to TalkBass! :)

Thank you, I have heard a lot about this site. Would like to stay $500-$800.
Drumer vol. not a problem. Have 800W GK amp and was using a SVT 15E cab. Also have a SWR 4X10 that I use occasionally. I think I would like to stay with the warmer sound of a 15.
 
It's not always the magnet
Smarter construction techniques can yield lightweight but effective cabinets.

Get the measurements from the cab maker. all the measurements, one being the weight of the whole cabinet, but the magnet has little to do with it actually effectiveness.

Thanks for info am looking at different manufactures now.

That's what I am looking for. Its harder to move all that heave stuff as I get older!
