"The T-IVa and the 20.1 ... basically have the same tweeter ribbon driver" ...

Not quite. The T-IVa has the same 2 ohm ribbon that the IIIa had; 20.1s have the (narrower) 3 ohm ribbon that 3.Xs have. I believe the 3 ohm ribbon sounds just a bit better than the earlier one.

So that is how you take some T-IVas to the max:
1. replace each mid panel with a string of Neo8s, and
2. replace the older ribbon with the newer one (which I believe is about 1/2" longer).

That is my long term plan for my 'Frankenpans' ... which are essentially T-IVas with only 1 bass panel each side. (They are made from a T-IVa mid / ribbon frame coupled with a 2.5 bass panel - but with hardwood frames, not MDF.)


Regards,

Andy
