"The midrange is not as good as that of the 20.1 and 20.7 but can be replaced with a line of BG Neo8 drivers as I have done."
So are you doing the equivalent of comparing two Ford models with each other, one of which has a Lexus engine?

There are differences. Only the ribbons are the same, almost. Early T-IVa had identical ribbons, later replaced with the 2 Ohm+resistor. Bass drivers have different placement of the buttons, tuning too. Mids are shorter in the IV. Crossovers are different. The IV had a short production run.
Well, I guess I am. The Push pull driver in the 20.x models is definitely a better performer than the Tympani mids and 3.x mids particularly by not compressing at even rather loud levels. The BG Neo8 are no different so can be substituted easily in the TIV models and compared.
I think it is a worthwhile effort to compare and the alternative is no info.
