You deal with random result. Pretend that you have your both versions drivers but the driver with “inferior” radial plug has a diaphragm with slightly different Mylar suspension that happens to be work better then GPA cone with concentric plug. You just do not have this experience. So, do not look for individual symptoms but look for a health of entire body. In my view the design of phase plug is a VERY mercy subject and I do not like anybody feel that their conclusions are definitive.
