Size Matters. The old 26x32mm tweeter changed to 25x32mm?

I upgraded(?) my small room 2.1 from 4s monitors to B1+. I was poking around the spec sheets and noticed that the 4s have an extra mm of folded ribbon. Did someone buy a more accurate micrometer caliper and realize they were actually 25mm or are the newer tweeters actually 1mm smaller?

FYI - I had been running 4s through DC-1. Hooked the B1+ via TA-100 and it was nice, but something was missing. Ran B1+ thought DC-1 and immediately noticed a difference. I'm guessing the DACs are not the same. TA-100 is still a great value, but I wonder what the cost increase would've been to use the same DAC as DC-1.

The b1 is the equivalent to the airmotiv 5. In terms of woofer size. I have herd the airmotiv 4 and 5. The 5 definitely sounds better though both are good.

So far my Airmotiv 5's impress me much more that the B1's. They just seem flat and lifeless in comparison.
