It will be interesting to hear your assessment. I've found the CDs to be, for lack of a better term, smoother. Don't know if it's the lower crossover point than the piezos or what - but there is a difference in the high-mids.

6 - T39 3012LF
4 - OT12 2512
1 - T24
1 - SLA Pro
2 - XF210

I'm curious myself. I get mixed reviews so I figured I will just see for my self.
