Replacing the (shorter) T-IV midrange with the Neo 8s makes sense ...

but I wonder if the full-length T-IVa midrange perhaps is a lot better than the IV mid-range?

Comparing bass delivery between a 20.1 and a T-IV/T-IVa would be interesting. The Tymps have 1254 sq in of bass panel compared to only 800 sq in for the 20.1 - so should give "more" (ie. lower) bass ... yet the 20.1 has magnets both side, so should deliver better bass transients?

But, yes, the fact that theere's only the one frame for the 3 drivers in the 20.1 severely compromises the end result.

Andy
