Yes, but I wasn't comparing TUBAS. I was comparing SOUSAPHONES. :-)

My personal taste (as some are tired of reading about - surely at least tired of seeing it regarding this) is toward the 14K and not the 20K. I find the 20K sound to be a bit "woofy" and the 14K to be just about the best balance of "focused" and "round" of any sousa sound that I have heard - with PLENTY of volume and incredibly good intonation (intonation far better than that of King sousas that I have dealt with).

Still, I only play these things when I am finished overhauling or repairing one. My opinion here isn't strong enough to continue this thread.
