Can't help on the comparison. I own and love Andra IIs, and have heard and was really impressed by the 20Ts, but certainly didn't hear them in a sufficiently similar listening environment to comment intelligently. But I can say that after some hears of listening to the AIIs in a 23' X 14' X 9' space, there is no way the Savoys would work in that room, and as Westborn suggests, I can't imagine them not chasing you out of a room with a 7' ceiling
I have a 22' x 13' x 9' listening room, and the Andra IIs produce thunderous bass in it. One look at the Savoys and I knew better than to try--open them up to high volume and the bass reflections would probably cancel each other out, leaving either a muddle or what appears to be just what you heard, a lack of bass. But it should also be pointed out that putting any twelve (?) year old speaker design up against the 20T, one of the best speakers I have ever heard, which wasn't around ten-twelve years ago, is asking a lot of the older speaker. I love my Andra IIs, but there is now an Andra III, and I am sure Eggleston had a reason for the model change; they don't do them often.
