Hi everybody,

apart the GLM system kit, are the 8020D and 8320 APM the same speakers implementing the same features or are the more recent 2017 8020D different from the 8320 APM?

I mean, NOT using the GLM kit

there might be slight differences in the amps.

 

but to all intents and purposes, it's the same speaker.

No way it is. 8320 has ad-da conversion and digital crossover in the middle while 8020D is all analog. Right?

you won't hear a difference though without GLM.

They have different specs also... I haven't heard them side by side, but the 8320 should be better, even without GLM
