The C version was engineered by Hans Dietze, and had higher power handling than the other versions. It was the most expensive to make (for RCA) and had the lowest production run (by far.) Harry Olson once congratulated Hans on making the best version of his original design, for whatever you take that to be worth. The C version is alnico.

I have a pair of Olson designed cabinets with a MI 11411 in one enclosure, and an LC1C in the other. If anyone would like to come and make a wager that they can a) tell the difference, and b)guess which is which, I would love to take them up on that.

I cannot hear a difference between the two drivers, running side by side.

My recommendation to anyone looking for these would be to get whatever is in good condition, and not worry about which iteration they have acquired.
