In my humble experience, the advantages of the bugscreen removal result in significant reductions in turbulence in the throat area — which translate into in less distortion and better transient response.We (the Central Florida Audio Society) once had a blind A/B comparison of identical TD 2001 drivers, one with, and one without the bug screen. What was significant, was not that all of the members preferred the sound of the driver without the bug screen, but, in under 30 seconds, everyone that participated in the AB listen was able to tell which driver had no bug screen.
The disadvantage to this modification is that the bugscreen is there for a reason: To keep bugs, dirt and ferrous materials from migrating to the voice coil gap. This however, is more of a concern in a pro audio where the TD 2001 is used in commercial sound reinforcement. I have found that nylon pantyhose stretched at the junction of horn throat and mouth makes an effective seasonal bug (kid and pet) screen for compression drivers that have had their bug screens removed, as well as traditional drivers (with an exposed gaps area) that have a phase plug or no dust cap.
